The Dallas Cowboys made several defensive additions this offseason in the hopes of improving one of the worst defenses in the league. One of those additions — cornerback Cobie Durant — is off to a fast start.
Durant received praise from Dallascowboys.com’s Patrik Walker on Monday for his strong start to training camp. To begin this week, Durant performed well in the team’s first padded camp practice.
“Cobie Durant’s momentum over the first three practices ramped up even more on Monday, when the pads came on,” wrote Walker. “His coverage is some of the best on the Cowboys’ defense and, on one play in particular, he showed Dak Prescott what he can do.
“Prescott dropped back in the red zone and threw a ball under duress to CeeDee Lamb, who was in good enough position to make the catch after he broke outside; but Durant peeled off of his original coverage, readjusted and jumped the route to make an acrobatic interception that had Christian Parker smiling.”
Durant posted 40 combined tackles with seven pass defenses and three interceptions for the Los Angeles Rams last season. Pundits expect the cornerback to be one of a few new starters on the Cowboys defense this season.
