Caleb Downs Joins Cowboys, Ready to Shine

On April 24, Dallas Cowboys just snagged Caleb Downs, a top defensive back, with the

eleventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

This guy's got an elite college resume from Alabama and Ohio State, including multiple

All-American nods and the Jim Thorpe Award for Best Defensive, Back.

Downs bring serious skills and coverage, run support, and even special teams, making

him one of the drafts' premier defenders.

The Cowboys see him sliding right into their secondary without missing a beat.

Michael Parsons, the star who got traded to the Green Bay Packers last year after shining

in Dallas, wasted no time hyping him up.

Parsons made it clear Downs is expected to start immediately and carry the load from

day one.

This pick bolsters the Cowboys' defense, gearing up against tough arms like Jackson

Dart, Jalen Hertz, and Jaden Daniels.

It's a smart move to inject young talent ready to compete now.

Parsons are massive for Downs and Dallas, where the pressure matches the spotlight, setting

the stage for him to prove he's that immediate.

Game changer the team needs.
