The Cowboys are relying on these players to anchor their defensive backfield.
The Star: Cornerback DaRon Bland
The aforementioned Bland has a huge season ahead of him. Coming off a record-breaking 2023, the expectations have never been higher for this former 5th-round pick. At just 24 years old, Bland has 14 interceptions, 23 pass breakups, and 123 tackles in his 23 career games.
That includes just 23 games started, as his starting reps mostly started in 2023. With Diggs coming back, the Cowboys are expected to have one of the best cornerback duos in the NFL.
