Cowboys Rookies: Recent Rookie Classes With Strong Playing Time Contributions

A look at the playing time of the last 11 rookie class suggests the Cowboys have been drafting well recently.

At the end of last season, we took a look at the number of snaps played by each of the last nine Cowboys rookie classes in their rookie seasons. We found that the 2015 rookie class played more snaps in their rookie season than all but one of the last nine rookie classes.

That makes the 2015 rookie class (and we're talking specifically about rookie classes, not just draft classes) one of the most productive recent Cowboys rookie classes, despite being handicapped from the start.
