Cowboys Rumors: Marshawn Kneeland Compared to Pro Bowler DeMarcus Lawrence in Dallas

The Dallas Cowboys see "shades of" four-time Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence in No. 56 draft pick Marshawn Kneeland, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fowler described Kneeland as "a player who can win with speed or power and can stop the run."

The former Western Michigan edge rusher recorded career highs with 57 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles during his senior season.

Kneeland played as a tight end and linebacker before transitioning to defensive end during his four seasons as a starter at Western Michigan.
