In the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys made UCF defensive tackle Trysten Hill their top selection, 58th overall. Following a coaching regime change this offseason, the position of defensive tackle continues to be a major focus.
Under new head coach Mike McCarthy and the subsequent hires of defensive coordinator Mike Noland and defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, the Cowboys defense is heading in an exciting new direction. And that was made very evident with the recent free-agent signings of veteran defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe.
