How the Cowboys current 53-man roster was put together

The 2017 Cowboys roster has been finalized. There will be several changes as we progress through the season, but for now - let’s take a little stroll and see how everyone got here.

It all started with the third-round draft pick of future Hall of Famer, Jason Witten (Tennessee). Witten is entering his 15th season and is the longest-tenured Cowboys player on the team.

People don’t give much thought to longsnapper L.P. Ladouceur (California). The UDFA has played for the Cowboys for the last 12 seasons and has been downright perfect.

The Cowboys have several Boise State players on the roster, but Orlando Scandrick is the longest-tenured one.
