Cowboys' Mazi Smith in danger of being leapfrogged by seventh-round rookie

Let's take a step back from the Micah Parsons mayhem, shall we? After all, training camp is chugging right along and the Dallas Cowboys are approaching their first joint practice of the summer.

While there is a lot to be excited about, Mazi Smith continues to be his own storyline. Cowboys fans lost a lot of the hope they had in a potential Smith breakout season when it was revealed the team plans to deploy him at both the one- and three-technique position.

Matt Eberflus wants Smith to get upfield rather than be a two-gap enforcer. It's hard to think this experiment will end well since it didn't under Dan Quinn, who asked Smith to be a three-tech as a rookie.
