The Cowboys are going to need Joseph to hit the ground running.
What’s Next: Trevon Diggs might have set some unreasonable expectations for a rookie cornerback selected in the second round by being a reliable and promising Week 1 starter. Joseph might come along a little bit slower than Diggs, but the Cowboys did use a valuable draft pick to select him, and they desperately need improved cornerback performance over last season, so the rookie will be expected to be able to contribute to the defense during his rookie season. At 5-11, he isn’t the tallest cornerback the Cowboys drafted in 2021, but he might be the most physical and athletic.
