Leighton Vander Esch recorded the first interception of his career last Sunday night when he picked off Carson Wentz.
The first-round linebacker also locked in what might be the most impressive tackle of his young career so far when he pushed Philadelphia back five yards with the game on the line.
Leighton also won Defensive Player of the Week. He’s the first Cowboys rookie to do that since Sean Lee back in 2010. That’s pretty good company to be in. It’s a great time to be and represent Leighton, which leads us to a new way to do that.
