Mandatory minicamp is two-thirds of the way over already for the Cowboys, but several players have used the sessions to make a good impression on coaches before the summer break. Quinnen Williams is reportedly causing all kinds of havoc, and on offense, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is making the most of his reps temporarily filling in for George Pickens.
Elsewhere on the roster, Shavon Revel is set to show his true talent in his second season, revealing that even though he played last year, he never felt like himself. Jalen Thompson is seeing first-hand that the level of competition in Dallas is different, and Javonte Williams is setting lofty goals after meeting the NFL’s rushing king… but the team is nevertheless still shopping for running back depth behind him, with an underachieving Raider coming in for a look.
Also, great insight from the Cowboys coordinators as Klayton Adams and Christian Parker speak to the media… and why is England being called the “Dallas Cowboys of the World Cup?” The answer is sure to frustrate fans of both clubs.
Meanwhile, as NFL teams prepare to make a decision on entering the Brendan Sorsby sweepstakes, we explore what the Texas Tech prospect is actually worth in draft stock. Also in the college ranks, there’s news out of Texas on Arch Manning that will change how some teams are looking at their own QB rooms. And we take an early mock swing at 2027 selections: a marquee wideout, an Alabama DB, and a gritty home-state product in the first three rounds? That sounds like a very Cowboys draft.
Then checking in around the league, Vita Vea looks to be pulling a “hold-in” in Tampa Bay over his contract status, but Todd Bowles says he’s not concerned about his big nose tackle. Chargers second-year ballcarrier Omarion Hampton is trumpeting a Hall of Fame comparison, and Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow sees something familiar in his current Bengals squad that should scare the rest of the AFC.
