Trysten Hill named as a dark horse candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year

It’s kind of amazing how low Trysten Hill is flying under the radar for Cowboys fans.

Really, think about it. Typically the team’s first-round pick has been anointed by this time of year, and while Hill wasn’t one of the first 32 selections a few months ago he was the first choice that Dallas made, and that means an awful lot.

The thing is, he plays sort of an un-sexy position. And that’s okay! Defensive tackles are very necessary in the game of football but the cold truth of it is they don’t get the flashy sacks that defensive ends do.
