Insider compares Cowboys safety to Arizona’s Tyrann Mathieu

It’s been a very long time since any player in the Dallas Cowboys defensive secondary has been compared to an All-Pro player.

But that’s exactly what happen recently when a Cowboys insider was asked to name a player with a similar skill set to that of the team’s 2015 first round pick, defensive back Byron Jones.

“Y’all will probably give me grief because this isn’t an exact comparison, but I can seem some similarity to Tyrann Mathieu in Arizona,” wrote David Helman recently responding to a mail bag question on the team’s official website.
