IRVING, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday for Paxton Lynch's private workout, they were met by senior director of college and pro personnel and senior personnel executive Lionel Vital.
Vital joined the Cowboys recently after a nine-year run with the Atlanta Falcons, including the last three as the team’s director of player personnel. His role with the Cowboys will evolve, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones.
“Obviously we brought him right down in the middle of things because it’s a unique situation and we felt like it was great to get a guy like that," said Jones.
