Throughout the years, every great Cowboys receiver had a star cornerback lining up across from him on the practice field.
Drew Pearson and Everson Walls.
Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders.
And Dez Bryant and Morris…well, never mind on that one.
One of these days, the Cowboys will once again have a new star wide receiver and a new star cornerback fighting it out in practice, competing hard, and making each other better. But is it possible that day is a lot closer than we think?
Last season, the team modernized their cornerback position – out with the old, and in with the new.
