There weren’t many players on the Dallas defense who had a good year in 2020, and that’s part of the reason Dan Quinn is the new Cowboys defensive coordinator. But Donovan Wilson had a stellar season, and it could make him the centerpiece of Quinn’s defense going forward.
He began the 2020 season as a borderline-roster hopeful that was looking to impress this new coaching staff and perhaps find a role on special teams to stay on the 53-man roster. Then, Wilson took advantage of added playing time because of an injury to Darian Thompson, and before you know it, Wilson was a regular starter in the secondary.
