Cowboys safety Xavier Woods: “I want to be the best safety ... and win the Super Bowl”

We are getting pretty deep into Cowboys training camp, and one player that has everybody talking is third-year safety Xavier Woods.

Woods, a sixth-round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been a fan favorite since the Cowboys drafted him out of Louisiana Tech. His physical play and hard-hitting ability is exciting to watch — and forces receivers and tight ends to think twice about coming over the middle on him.

A huge topic point leading into the 2019 draft was that the safety position was among — if not at the top of the list — the weakest units on the team.
