The Jerry Jones-owned Dallas Cowboys did not garner a lot of love from the fans and analysts after their 2022 season. Even though they were able to make it to the playoffs, there was a lot of hate assigned to the team, as well as their quarterback, Dak Prescott. Furthermore, it also seems like the organization might be looking for some backups for the QB. Amidst all of this, the Cowboys have gone on to make some interesting acquisitions at the Draft.
A video of one of the Cowboys’ draft picks went viral on Instagram and it was certainly a sight to see. It showcased a defensive draft pick doing some workouts that caught the eyes of the fans. Fans instantly took to Instagram to exclaim at the pick’s displays of athleticism and strength.
