The Dallas Cowboys have lost 13 players, most to free agency and one to retirement over the last three months. Even with this exodus, they’ve done enough to retain and add talent during the offseason that some returning players can’t feel safe going into training camp. One of them is offensive lineman Josh Ball.
Barring injuries to other prospects or a miraculous turnaround in his play, Ball will soon join 2021 classmates Kelvin Joseph, Jabril Cox, Simi Fehoko, as failed picks from that draft. Once seen as a draft day steal with his perceived potential, falling more due to personal conduct concerns, Ball has been fine off the field but hasn’t done enough on it.
