A seventh-round pick from the 2021 draft class, Farniok is an interior offensive linemen with guard-center versatility. He has a modest number of professional snaps on his resume (213 offensive snaps) and a NFL-caliber set of traits at his disposal.
Matt Farniok was drafted with pick 238 of round 7 in the 2021 draft class. He scored a 9.9 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 12 out of 1152 OG from 1987 to 2021. https://t.co/3PdhuNbcqY #RAS #Cowboys pic.twitter.com/F8fozo9jGF

Farniok’s most recent action came in the first seven games of 2022, including a rather troublesome performance against Tampa Bay in Week 1.
Farniok would improve after that first game but never posted a consistent enough performance to instill faith from the Cowboys fanbase.
While Farniok’s most recent struggles should not be forgotten, his total body of work and physical ceiling need to be considered. Not only does the former Nebraska lineman tangibly measure in the top percentile of his position group, but he’s a well-regarded player in the Cowboys offensive line room.
Nice job by Matt Farniok to essentially block 2 Eagles at the 2nd level before JaQuan Hardy hits a nice jump cut to elude one defender and run in the end zone for the TD. #Cowboys pic.twitter.com/lZJ4oiqDyu

He provided flashes of potential in the opportunities he was given and if he can build on it and start producing more consistent performances, he could be back into the mix at left guard or center in the near future.
