Rookie D.J. Withers, a versatile defensive lineman from Kansas, aims to secure a spot on the transformed Cowboys’ defensive line after going undrafted in 2026. With a 10% chance of making the roster, he faces tough competition from established players and other UDFAs. At 6’4″ and 300 lbs, he fits the profile for a 3-4 defensive end, but the crowded lineup may lead to a practice squad role. The Cowboys might prioritize youth, potentially opening a spot if veteran Jonathan Bullard falters.
