The Cowboys defensive line room is as crowded as ever, but Sam Williams made the most of every opportunity as a rookie.
Edge Sam Williams
The Cowboys got huge contributions from 2022 first-round pick Tyler Smith, who started all 17 games as a rookie. But second-round pick Sam Williams only showed occasional flashes.
The former Mississippi linebacker appeared in 15 games but played only 27 percent of the defensive snaps during those contests.
Those flashes were impressive, though. Williams managed to record four sacks and 11 quarterback pressures as a part-time pass-rusher to go with 22 total tackles and three fumble recoveries.
