Caleb Downs: Dallas Cowboys' Versatile Defensive Weapon

On April 28, Caleb Downs, the Dallas Cowboys first round draft pick at number 11 overall,

is hyped about his role on the defense heading into.

The 20-26 season.

The rookie defensive back wants to be a full-rounded player, using every skill to make plays wherever

he's needed on the field.

He broke it down on 105.3, the fan, talking about versatility from the line of scrimmage

to deep coverage.

Someone sees himself as a true playmaker who elevates the whole unit, not just fitting

one spot.

Coming off two strong seasons at Ohio State, he's a two-time All-American who led the

buckais to a national title in 2024 and snagged.

The Jim Thorpe Award in 2025.

The Cowboys traded of one spot to grab him, showing how much they value that talent.

Jerry Jones and the front office are all in on downs to fix last year's defensive woes.

Dallas ranked 30th in total defense, giving up 377 yards per game, and they were the only

team allowing over 30 points per contest at 30.1.

With Downs stepping up as that multi-tool defender, the Cowboys' secondary could finally

lock it down and turn those struggles into shutdown.
