Dallas Cowboys guard Tyler Smith makes NFL.com writer’s team of top players under 25
Super Bowl windows have a habit of slamming shut unexpectedly. At this level, all it takes is one bad draft class or a string of injuries to turn a contender into a pretender. For now, the Dallas Cowboys still appear to be one of the better teams in the NFL and it would be a surprise if they didn’t make the playoffs for their fourth consecutive season.
While their roster is loaded with superstars and quality role players, it’s also getting a bit long in the tooth. Foundational veterans like Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence are nearing the end of their respective careers, Dak Prescott will turn 31 years old in a couple of days.
If you need evidence that this team is no longer a spring chicken, look no further than the All-Under 25 Team that NFL.com writer Nick Shook came up with this week.
