  • Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland: Continues to shine in camp

    Kneeland has gotten the attention of both coaches and teammates for his work ethic and drive to improve in training camp, Nick Harris of DallasCowboys.com reports.

    Selected in the second round of the 2024 Draft due to his athleticism rather than his production at Western Michigan, Kneeland has been thrust into a bigger role in the Cowboys' edge rotation due to Sam Williams' season-ending knee injury, but the rookie is rising to the challenge. "Marshawn's been great in camp," defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer said. "He's working real hard on some of the pass rush stuff, because I don't think he was as efficient in doing that. He's been great against the run. He's a worker and I think he's going to continue to work." Teammate Micah Parsons was just as effusive in his praise, and threw out the name of an eight-time Pro Bowler as a comp for Kneeland's upside. "I think he's going to be a great player," Parsons said. "I'm giving him comps, I think he's a young Cameron Jordan. I think he has the talent and ability. He's just so hungry every day, willing to learn and he has that dog in him. He has unteachable characteristics." Even Jordan only recorded 1.0 sack in 16 games as a rookie in 2011, though, so while Kneeland could see a bigger workload than Dallas had planned this season, he's unlikely to make a big impact from an IDP perspective.

  • Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland: In line for bigger role

    Kneeland is the top candidate to take on a bigger role in the Cowboys' pass-rush rotation with Sam Williams (knee) out for the season, Patrik Walker of the team's website reports. "I've got to step up. I've gotta be ready, that much more, and take all of it seriously. ... I've got to step it up a notch," Kneeland said Tuesday. "It's still the same mindset, helping the team out as much as possible, but now I know there's more on my back."

    A second-round pick in the 2024 Draft, Kneeland didn't produce big numbers in college at Western Michigan but has a strong athletic profile that should allow him to handle snaps both inside as a 3-technique and on the edge of the defensive line. Williams' injury could push the rookie to the outside more than originally expected, however. Kneeland could wind up as a better run-stopper than pass rusher, but he has a couple of excellent mentors in DeMarcus Lawrence and assistant coach Greg Ellis, who recorded 84.0 sacks in a 12-year career spent mainly in Dallas.

  • Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland: Second-round pickup for Dallas

    The Cowboys selected Kneeland in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 56th overall.

    Kneeland (6-foot-3, 267 pounds) once played on the same line as fellow second-round pick Braden Fiske when the two attended Western Michigan, but Fiske transferred to Florida State in 2023 while Kneeland remained up north. Though very toolsy (4.75-second 40-yard dash, 35.5-inch vertical jump, 7.02-second three-cone drill), Kneeland's production never quite took off at Western Michigan the way you would expect of an athlete like him playing in the MAC. Kneeland will likely begin his career as a depth player for Dallas due to the presence of Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and Sam Williams.
