The Dallas Cowboys are ready to compete for an NFC East title during the 2025 NFL season. Hope is aplenty in Dallas after a woeful 2024 season that had many Cowboys fans disappointed. The Cowboys only won seven games in 2024 and missed the playoff, due in large part to major injuries to player like Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons.
Dallas spent the offseason adding players who could help turn the ship around in 2025. The Cowboys added depth on both sides of the football and even signed a few players who could have starting roles in 2025. Jack Sanborn, Javonte Williams, and Kenneth Murray sit atop the list of newcomers who could become household names for Cowboys fans.
The Cowboys also had a solid 2025 NFL Draft, adding several talented player who fit new head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s vision for the team. Cowboys fans likely weren’t excited by every single pick, but overall the draft dramatically improved the talent on the roster.
The first step every NFL rookie must take before training camp is rookie minicamp. This three-day journey, which the Cowboys undertook earlier in May, is the coaching staff’s first real look at their new rookies.
But what are the early returns on the team’s rookie class after wrapping rookie minicamp a few weeks ago?
Below we will discuss which Cowboys rookie had the biggest impact during rookie minicamp.
Surprise surprise, the Cowboys’ first-round pick is the one to make a big splash at rookie minicamp.
The Cowboys had several rookies make an impact during minicamp, but Booker is in a tier of his own.
Booker established himself early as a mainstay for the organization. He earned the respect of his fellow rookies. Jaydon Blue heaped praise on his fellow rookie for his leadership skills.
“He’s ready to learn and he’s a great football player,” Blue said via Randy Gurzi of Sports Illustrated. “He’s been leading us since we’ve been here. So, it’s an honor to be able to share the room with him.”
This is incredible news for Cowboys fans who must be excited about their new offensive lineman.
It should not come as a huge surprise that Booker is such a strong leader. Booker was a team captain at Alabama, which is no easy feat to accomplish to say the least.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones even admitted that the team prioritized leadership for Schottenheimer’s first draft class.
“The thing that I saw was a relative picking players that really fit,” Jones said via The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “I’m not going to say it was need, but really fit to the leadership and to the ethos of what we would like to be able to claim that was (Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer’s) first (draft) class.”
Dallas was undoubtedly drawn to Booker for those same leadership skills. He is doing exactly what the Cowboys hoped he would.
