Cowboys bring in Darnell Washington, Drew Sanders as national visits

Remember how Micah Parsons was a linebacker who came down to the line during the olden days, as opposed to being a full-time edge? That’s Sanders’ role. Recruited as an edge to Alabama, he has the ability to be a three-down linebacker at the pro level with plus-rush ability. One can see the obvious reasons why Dan Quinn would be highly interested. The Arkansas connection also is a plus for the front office.

Sanders can play ball at a high level and seems like a fair trade back target from No. 26, or an easy selection if he slides to No. 58 for a LB-hungry organization.

The Cowboys have two other 30-visit linebackers, Clemson’s Trenton Simpson and Texas’ DeMarvion Overshown. All thee are expected to be selected over the first two days of the draft.

Dallas also brought two late-round prospects in for Dallas Day: TCU’s Dee Winters and SMU’s Jimmy Phillips, Jr.
