The other Cowboys Connor, Connor McGovern, already has an NFL body

In the 2018 draft, the Dallas Cowboys picked up an offensive lineman named Connor Williams. At the time, it was considered a value pick as some had rated Williams as a borderline first-round talent. He played tackle in college and was noted for having excellent feet for a lineman, but given his shorter arm length he was ticketed for guard in the Cowboys system. Williams won a starting guard spot, but struggled at times for one major reason, he just didn’t seem big/strong enough to anchor down and hold his position. His noticeable issues with more talented defensive tackles bullying him around led to him sharing time with Xavier Su’a-Filo at points during the season.
