## Resource

Rookie watch is heating up at Dallas Cowboys minicamp as the team eyes breakout performances from its young talent—especially on defense. Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence are frontrunners, but don’t sleep on Drew Shelton, the fourth-round offensive lineman with elite college pass-blocking stats, or Jaishawn Barham, the versatile linebacker stepping in where injuries leave a void. Cornerback Devin Moore, a big-bodied fourth-rounder with injury history, could be the surprise secondary piece if he stays healthy. With the season looming, these rookies have a golden chance to prove they belong—and the Cowboys’ future may hinge on how well they rise to the challenge.
