FRISCO, Texas – You might say Chidobe Awuzie is getting a little of the Byron Jones treatment right now.
Like the Cowboys’ 2015 first-round pick did two years ago, the 2017 second-round pick is practicing at multiple spots in his first NFL offseason: outside corner, inside corner and dime linebacker, which essentially functions as a safety and allows the defense to get another cover guy on the field against multi-receiver sets.
“He’s doing it all,” Cowboys secondary coach Joe Baker said. “He’s remarkable. He’s playing corner, nickel and dime. He’s going to be really valuable to us.
