There are a few Cowboys who really need to have an impressive training camp.
The Dallas Cowboys will kick off their first training camp of the Brian Schottenheimer era next Tuesday, and there are plenty of questions surrounding this team right now. Some players, though, will arrive in Oxnard needing to prove themselves in different ways. These five have the most to prove right now.
CB Kaiir Elam
The Cowboys traded for former first-round pick Kaiir Elam earlier this offseason, and the former Bill is hoping a change of scenery is just what he needed. Elam was hardly bad in Buffalo, but his performance never quite justified his draft status.
Now, Elam has a legitimate shot at locking up a starting job in Dallas given the injuries to Trevon Diggs and rookie Shavon Revel. However, Elam’s rookie deal expires after this year, and if he fails to produce in Dallas it could really hinder his market. Elam drew some praise during OTA’s, but he needs to carry that over to Oxnard, as this could very well be his last chance to earn a starting job in the league.
