"Toia's rookie season in Dallas was almost entirely a redshirt year. He appeared in only five games, recording one solo tackle and two assists, with no sacks, no forced fumbles and no other stats on the box score. PFF graded him at 29.9 overall on those limited snaps and explicitly tagged him as having not enough snaps, which tells you both how little he played and how little weight you should put on the grade at this stage."
"His inactivity was about context as much as performance. Dallas went from having a thin interior to building one of the deepest tackle rooms in the league thanks to the addition of Quinnen Williams, plus Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas who carried the load inside,"
Jay Toia appeared in five games as a rookie, logging 89 snaps, three tackles, and one pressure with no sacks or turnovers. PFF assigned a 29.9 grade but marked the sample as too small for meaningful evaluation. Dallas added several interior defensive tackles—Quinnen Williams, Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark, Solomon Thomas and briefly Mazi Smith—pushing Toia down the depth chart and often leaving him inactive on game day. Pre-draft scouting labeled him a massive early-down run plugger with notable strength but limited length and quickness and questions about shedding blocks and holding gaps. Toia must develop as a true nose who wins early downs to earn rotational snaps.
