FRISCO, Texas -- Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch is retiring after dealing with recurring neck issues in his six-year career.
A first-round pick in 2018, Vander Esch set a Cowboys' rookie record with 176 tackles and was named to the Pro Bowl as his "Wolf Hunter" nickname became a signature call during games, but he entered the NFL with questions about his neck and missed time due to neck injuries in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
