With Sam Williams out of the lineup, the Dallas Cowboys second-round pick is committed to stepping up.
Sam Williams going down in practice with a torn ACL and MCL was a devastating blow for both the young pass rusher and the Dallas Cowboys, and it also thrusts rookie second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland onto center stage as the lead horse in the race to try and replace Williams.
Kneeland is not naive to that reality.
“It’s a tough loss that we have with him — great player and a great person,” Kneeland said of Williams.
