Shoken news: Dallas cowboys suspended Dak Prescott’s is for a reason……
It’s NFL combine week in the final week of February, with coaches and scouts across the league gathering in Indianapolis to watch the best college prospects entering the 2024 NFL Draft. However, head coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer will not be attending the event. McCarthy explained that they will both be in Dallas continuing to set the staff and work on changes to their new defensive scheme.
The scouting combine is always a fun opportunity for fans to watch some of the biggest stars showcase their athleticism and intangibles in various drills. Often, a player can significantly increase their draft stock with an impressive performance in Indianapolis. These are two players Cowboys fans should keep a close eye on throughout the week, as they could be a potential fit for the team in the draft.
The Dallas Cowboys struggled in the red zone throughout the 2023 season. Despite having a high-powered offense, the team scored a touchdown on just 58% of their red zone trips, ranking just 12th in the NFL. To put that into perspective, the San Francisco 49ers ranked first in the league in this category with 68%. The Cowboys need a consistent end zone threat at the wide receiver position. LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr. could fit this mold perfectly. Thomas stands at 6’4” and 205 pounds, providing excellent size at the position. He finished the 2023 season with 17 receiving touchdowns, the most throughout the country this past season. He did this despite not being the number one receiver on his team, as teammate Malik Nabers appears to be a future top-10 pick in this upcoming draft.
