The Dallas Cowboys were in prime position to grab a running back in the third round of the NFL draft. Instead, after using the extra pick on offensive lineman Cooper Beebe, Dallas took linebacker Marist Liufau 87th overall. It’s possible the Cowboys could've waited until Day 3 to get Liufau, so this has put quite the spotlight on him going a few rounds early.
On Thursday, all 20 rookies reported to The Star in Frisco as they prepared for minicamp. Just before putting pen to paper on his rookie deal, Liufau spoke to reporters, and the giddiness inside couldn't be contained.
