## Resource

Caleb Downs is poised to make history as a Defensive Rookie of the Year contender, but the path won’t be easy. With the Cowboys’ last DROY winner being Micah Parsons in 2021, fans are eager — yet historically, cornerbacks and safeties rarely win. Downs, expected to play nickel, defies the trend, but faces stiff competition from edge rushers like David Bailey and linebackers like Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles. Can rare talent break the mold?
