Chris Covington wouldn’t have guessed Ben Bloom’s first days on a field as the Dallas Cowboys’ linebackers coach came last week at the rookie minicamp.
"It seems like he’s been doing it for a very long time to me," said Covington, a sixth-round pick out of Indiana.
"He knows what he’s talking about. He gives great details. He’s on the little things, the small things, and that’s what I like about him."
Bloom, 35, is no stranger around the Cowboys’ facility. He’s been with the organization since 2011, working his way up from defensive quality control coach to assistant linebackers coach to assistant coach/ special projects to now linebackers coach.
