Cowboys news: DeMarcus Lawrence speaks up about the defensive line and responsibility

The Cowboys veteran defensive end is excited about the team, especially with second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland.

Lawrence couldn’t be more pleased with what the Western Michigan product is already showing throughout camp and the first two preseason outings.

“Our rook — he got taught pretty well coming up in college and in high school,” said Lawrence. “I’m glad we got him. He’s a hell of a draft pick for us. I feel like he’s gonna help us out a lot this year.”

The aforementioned mentoring doesn’t stop at Kneeland though, also extending to other veterans, and that includes defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and defensive end Carl Lawson, both joining the Cowboys in late August via trade and free agency, respectively.
