This past week at the NFL Scouting Combine, the Dallas Cowboys were doing their homework on cornerbacks. They met with several cornerbacks at the combine and seemingly have their eyes set on revamping the position. Outside of Trevon Diggs and a bright spot in rookie DaRon Bland, cornerback was a turbulent position for the team. First, Jourdan Lewis was sidelined with a season-ending foot injury, and to complicate matters, Anthony Brown would tear his Achilles and miss the remainder of the season.
The replacements in their stead were less than inspiring. Kelvin Joseph struggled to make an impact beyond his contributions on special teams, often being a step behind and trailing in coverage.
