Justin Barron, a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, is looking to capitalize on a coaching change in 2026 after spending last season on the practice squad. A former safety at Syracuse, he transitioned to linebacker and impressed with his mental acuity and leadership despite being undrafted in 2025. With a two-year contract and competition from veterans like Curtis Robinson and potential new signings, Barron aims to secure a backup role and make an impact on special teams. His development will be crucial as he seeks to push for playing time in a reshaped defensive scheme.
