Cowboys pre-training camp rookie projection: LB Shemar James

One of the more interesting selections for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2025 draft was Florida’s LB Shemar James. After trading for Kenneth Murray and signing Jack Sanborn in free agency, the linebacker position looked to be in decent shape heading into the draft, even with DeMarvion Overshown recovering from injury this offseason. With Murray, Sanborn, Damone Clark, and Marist Liufau on the roster, the linebacker room is pretty full, and that is without mentioning Overshown who plans to return at some point during the season.

In a crowded linebacker room, James will need to prove himself on the field this offseason on the defensive side of the ball, but even more on special teams.
