Which UDFA Can Make the Biggest Impact? - DallasCowboys.com Staff Writers
The Dallas Cowboys have a history of undrafted free agents making an impact as early as year one.
Kyle: For the better part of a decade, the Cowboys have found success in the UDFA class. This year seems like the lowest chance at striking yet, based purely on the small number of additions (nine) in the UDFA class. However, there’s a few names I keep coming back to, especially Justin Barron.
Barron, a five-year letter winner with Syracuse where he played safety, nickel and finally linebacker to round out his career. He looked the part during his rookie offseason, showing up in the rotation at linebacker throughout minicamp and OTAs. He joins a thin position group but has some veteran leadership around him with Kenneth Murray Jr. and a former UDFA Jack Sanborn. Don’t be surprised to see Barron make multiple plays throughout the preseason to work his way into playing time.
