Blogging The Boys
Donovan Ezeiruaku is showing that he could be one of the steals of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense has been the talk of the season for obvious reasons. Time and time again, they have proven to be one of the worst units in the league.
However, not everything has been bad within the unit. If you watched the team’s primetime matchup with the Arizona Cardinals this past week, you may have noticed one defensive unit was playing their tails off.
That unit was the defensive line. It truly felt like the Cowboys’ pass rush was in the backfield on every snap.
One of the biggest reasons behind the strong play from the pass rush has been the play of rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku.
In the loss to the Cardinals on Monday night, Ezeiruaku picked up his third sack of the season. The rookie was also in the backfield all game long.
It’s been a strong start for the former Boston College star, and his numbers back it up. Per CowboysMuse, Ezeiruaku is tied for first in sacks, second in tackles for loss, and first in forced fumbles among all rookies in the league.
Rest in peace Marshawn Kneeland.
FRISCO, Texas – The entire Dallas Cowboys organization and the NFL football community continue to mourn the tragic loss of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland.
Throughout the course of the day of his passing, Kneeland’s teammates showed outpourings of support and messages on social media to Kneeland and his family, as well as the importance of checking in on mental health with yourself and your loved ones.
“It’s been a very tough day,” QB Dak Prescott told CBS11 during a field dedication ceremony for him at his alma mater, Haughton High School. “It started early this morning, finding out the news. Tragic loss. I hurt. Heavy, heavy heart today. I hurt for Marshawn, I hurt for his family, I hurt for his girlfriend, I hurt for every single one of my teammates.”
“This is a pain that you don’t wish upon anybody. You wish none of us had to go through this. You wish Marshawn didn’t have to go through what he went through. Just thankful for each moment we have in this life, and don’t take it for granted, hug and love on those that you do.”
Prescott, who is an NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner for his efforts to help colon cancer research and mental health initiatives among other things, has been a large voice in the mental health community through his Faith, Fight, Finish foundation. Often writing “Ask 4 Help” on his wrist tape during games, Prescott echoed the message that it’s okay not to be okay....
