Few, if any, had Brock Hoffman as one of the Cowboys’ projected backup offensive linemen going into training camp. But based on reports out of Oxnard and the team’s own released depth charts, Hoffman has surprisingly moved into the backup center role and is now one of the more likely candidates to make Dallas’ roster at final cuts.
Hoffman was actually a quiet addition to the team late last season. He was added to the practice squad in mid-November and even elevated to the active roster for the final three regular reason games. He also dressed for the playoff game against the 49ers, but in none of these did he actually see snaps on offense.
