IRVING, Texas – For young players, the old adage in the NFL is clear: the more you can do, the better chance you have to stick around.
It’s a bit ironic, when you think about it: last year, Jameill Showers made the Cowboys’ practice squad and eventually the active roster as a quarterback prospect who proved in preseason he could help on special teams, too.
Yet, as he enters his second season, the Cowboys recognize Showers needs to be a full-time quarterback if he’s going to have a legitimate chance to grow and compete at the NFL’s most challenging position.
