"Ezeiruaku recorded at least one pressure in all but two games all year long despite rotating frequently with his teammates, and he had seven games with 3+ pressures. Ezeiruaku finished with just two sacks, but anyone who watched the games understands why he's expected to blow up this year. His 12.6% pass rush win rate as a rookie was just ahead of Steelers star T.J. Watt and a good bit ahead of new teammate Rashan Gary or Seahawks stars Boye Mafe and DeMarcus Lawrence."
"Now, Ezeiruaku gets a chance to play for Parker for real, and he's also got pass rush guru BT Jordan coaching him up. With a full offseason in an NFL weight room, along with an anticipated increase in workload, Ezeiruaku may very well end up being the Cowboys' top edge rusher this year."
"Once thought to be a first-round talent, Revel tore his ACL early in his senior year at East Carolina. Concerns over his recovery from such a serious injury led to Revel falling to Dallas at 76th overall, in the third round, in the draft."
The Dallas Cowboys have been active in free agency and focused on the 2026 NFL Draft, but they expect additional roster improvement through second-year development. Donovan Ezeiruaku is highlighted as the most likely player to take a significant step, based on his athletic profile and consistent rookie pressure production. He recorded at least one pressure in nearly every game, including multiple games with three or more pressures, and posted a strong pass rush win rate despite finishing with only two sacks. Coaching from Christian Parker and BT Jordan, plus a full offseason and increased workload, could elevate him into the team’s top edge rusher role. Shavon Revel is also mentioned as another candidate for growth after an ACL injury affected his draft stock.
