Safety first. The Cowboys competition in the deep defensive backfield is one of the hottest position battles on the roster.
Donovan Wilson
When Dan Quinn arrived for the 2021 season, Wilson instantly became a better player. Quinn’s defensive scheme featuring three safeties on the field played to all of Wilson’s strengths. He is a player who likes to play near the line of scrimmage. He’s excellent at run support, and is adept at pass rushing, evidenced by his 8.5 career sacks.
Wilson is not so great in coverage, though. How his traits fit into Mike Zimmer’s scheme is yet to be seen.
