Keanu Neal labeled as Cowboys biggest “X-Factor” heading into the 2021 regular season

One of the less talked about players during this preseason has been 26-year-old Keanu Neal. The former first-round pick came over to Dallas on a one-year deal this offseason and was reunited with his former head coach, Dan Quinn.

After being a strong safety during his five-year tenure in Atlanta, Neal will make the transition to playing linebacker in Dallas. Despite being a part of one of the most talented position groups on the team, some believe Neal could be a true difference-maker on the Cowboys’ defense.

On Tuesday, Bleacher Report backed up this belief.
