Local ties to the Dallas Cowboys typically mean next to nothing as it pertains to the likelihood of being drafted. The only thing that really matters about being a local prospect is how it relates to the draft process, particularly “Dallas Day”, which you may or may not be familiar with.
“Dallas Day” is for prospects who either grew up in the Dallas area or attended college at one of the local universities (TCU, SMU, North Texas). These prospects don’t count towards the 30 allotted national visits teams are allowed. “Dallas Day” has been a great tool for the Dallas Cowboys over the years and should continue to be so this year as well.
