When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Chauncey Golston out of Iowa in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, many people thought it was a bit early, but recognized he was a good player that could help the team. Known more for his versatility and stout run defense, Golston was often expected to play a “Tyrone Crawford” role in Dan Quinn’s defense, bouncing around between defensive end, defensive tackle, and even as standup EDGE at times. Golston, for a day three rookie, had a relatively impressive year one, but with Randy Gregory now in Denver, he will be needed to step up in his role in the defense in his sophomore campaign.
