ANNOUNCEMENT: Dak Prescott has Announce his Resignation And Departure From Dallas Cowboys Today

As the Dallas Cowboys barrel their way toward Detroit for the NFL Draft, they are making a brief stop in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine.

Here, players are measured, time, and interviewed as they hope to boost their stock.

The festivities include media availability, where players and executives can answer questions and potentially give insight about the coming months.

One of the Combine’s most highly anticipated players was Texas Longhorns defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat.

Sweat was early-round prospect Byron Murphy II’s running mate on the interior of the Longhorns line, and both earned themselves some money in Indianapolis.

Sweat weighed in at 366 pounds, a nearly historic mark for nose tackles at the combine.

His 5.27 40-yard dash isn’t some blazing mark, but for a player of his size, it checks the box.

His 10-yard split (1.8 seconds) outperformed his 40 time, helping showcase his burst.

Sweat helped prove himself in the movement drills, too. It wouldn’t be fair to compare him to his lighter counterparts who will spend more time at 3-tech (think Osi Odighizuwa). But for a nose tackle, he performed admirably.

Dallas’ defense, notably, struggled up the middle this year.

Rookie Mazi Smith’s debut campaign was a near-worst-case scenario and a long-term replacement for Johnathan Hankins is likely to be considered.

How the Cowboys attack the position in the draft could be emblematic of their faith in Smith, but for now, they’re doing their due diligence.
