VALLEY RANCH — When it comes to lockers, Geoff Swaim might’ve drawn the shortest straw.
Swaim, like many rookies, has been forced into a shared locker as the Cowboys carry a bloated preseason roster. But Swaim’s is in a corner. Next to offensive linemen.
Such is the life for a seventh-round pick (246th overall) who walked into an already established tight end group. Jason Witten is the clear starter and one of the best to have played the position. Backup Gavin Escobar was the Cowboys second-round pick just two years ago. Third-stringer James Hanna has spent the past three years with the Cowboys, playing in every game.
