Cowboys Defense: 3 players who aren’t getting enough credit

This is a big year for Matt Eberflus and the Dallas Cowboys defense. The first-year defensive coordinator is taking the reins from Mike Zimmer, and the unit will have a major say in Dallas’ success.

It isn’t just the big names either; Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, and the recently paid Osa Odighizuwa are going to need some help.

The front office has done a solid job of retaining and acquiring that kind of supplemental talent, but now it’s time to see if they are really up for the job.

Those guys are what could make this defense elite.

If you look at the depth chart, there are a few guys who hold serious weight in the defensive potential of this team; players who could essentially be catalysts for either a huge revival on defense, or a major let-down.

Three of those players are being heavily underrated as we head into the 2025 campaign, and it’s time we showed them some love.
