INDIANAPOLIS – It remains to be seen how effective he’ll be, but the Cowboys do expect Jaylon Smith to be on the field in 2017.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones talked to reporters at length on Tuesday, just before the start of the NFL Combine. But while the Cowboys prepare to vet this year’s crop of draft prospects, there was plenty of speculation about Smith – the team’s second-round pick from 2016, who has spent more than a calendar year rehabbing a grisly leg injury.
“You know, I think the sky’s the limit. I think he’s got a great opportunity, if he keeps on his current path, to be a dominant player for us,” Jones said.
