The Dallas Cowboys have a knack of making impactful special teams players out of undrafted rookie free agents. The poster child of course being legendary Cowboys safety Bill Bates, whose play as a special teamer forced the NFL to create a Pro Bowl spot for him in1984.

Now, one legendary Cowboys’ insider believes Dallas might have just found their next undrafted rookie to take up that special teams’ mantel.
