No. 6 · 2nd season

Ezeiruaku spent his rookie year making quarterbacks uncomfortable — he's not done

Some players arrive in the league and disappear into the depth chart. Donovan Ezeiruaku arrived and started making noise.

The Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker finished his rookie season ranked in the top five among first-year players in several of the categories that measure how much a pass rusher bothers a quarterback — pressures, win rate, hits, and hurries. That is not a fluke number. That is a pattern.

Now Ezeiruaku is saying out loud what the numbers already suggest: he expects to beat his sack total from last year. For a player still in the early chapters, that kind of confidence is either the setup or the story. Either way, it is worth watching.

Whatever comes next, the Cowboys have something real on that edge. The question is how far he takes it.
