Behind rookie Micah Parsons, Cowboys defense making a name for itself

LANDOVER, Md. -- The names on the Dallas Cowboys offense roll off the tongue like a who’s who of the NFL.

Dak Prescott. Ezekiel Elliott. Amari Cooper. Tyron Smith. Zack Martin. CeeDee Lamb. Michael Gallup. The first five players have been multiple-time Pro Bowlers. Lamb is destined to be one, maybe even this year. Gallup has a 1,000-yard season to his credit.

When the 2021 season started, the names on the Cowboys defense did not roll off the tongue. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, a two-time Pro Bowler, was the most recognizable name.
