It’s the result of a recruiting strategy implemented throughout Mike Gundy’s 13-year tenure as head coach: find players so athletic and talented they hardly come off the field. In an age where specialization pressure forces some athletes to focus on one position, and possibly one sport, the Cowboys appear to be an outlier.

I actually love this strategy.
