The Dallas Cowboys were in the market for cornerback help once the NFL draft rolled around in April. They didn't snag one until Day 3 when they took Caelen Carson out of Wake Forest in the fifth round. Standing 6'0" and weighing 195 pounds, Carson came into the NFL as a physical corner that disrupted routes off the line and contested catches. So, the Cowboys had every reason to be optimistic about what he could bring to the table.
Carson's professional career got off the a good start in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns.
