Film Room: Breaking down Eli Ankou’s Cowboys debut

The Cowboys may be in the midst of what many consider a lost season, but it didn’t lead to them making any bold moves one way or the other at the trade deadline. However, Dallas did deal a seventh-round pick for Eli Ankou, a big, 325-pound nose tackle from the Texans. After going undrafted out of UCLA in 2017, Ankou spent time between the practice squad and roster with the Texans from 2017 to 2019, and had very brief stints with both the Colts and Texans this year before Dallas scooped him up.
