The Dallas Cowboys are currently 10-1 and sit atop the NFL as the hottest team in the league. And that’s mainly due to the excellent play of their rookie class. Of course leading the headlines are first-year quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. But another rookie has played an important role on the other side of the ball.
In fact, it’s abnormal for a sixth round selection to become a starer for an NFL team during his rookie season. But cornerback Anthony Brown has done just that. Due to a gruesome groin injury veteran corner Morris Claiborne suffered at the end of October, Brown was promoted to a starting role opposite some of the top wide receivers in the league.
