For the past several weeks now, Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch has been a rumored favorite to become the Dallas Cowboys‘ top selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. But due to his lack of experience and some negative reviews by draft analysts, many fans may be dreading the pick if Vander Esch is the name that is actually called on Thursday night.
But take heart Cowboy fans! If the 22-year old linebacker is the team’s selection at #19, Dallas has landed themselves an ascending prospect that could eventually turn into a Pro Bowler-type player for America’s Team.
