Cowboys recent rookie classes with solid playing time contribution - but not more
"2025 Dallas Cowboys first-round pick Tyler Booker got 14 starts in his rookie season. Second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku got nine starts as he got acclimated to the NFL. Third-round pick Shavon Revel spent the first half of the season in the trainer's room before notching five starts in the last seven games. Fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue notched just 78 snaps on offense over five games and needed "a lot of coaching" in his first season. Fellow running back Phil Mafah only saw limited action in the season finale, and two draft picks never made the 53-man roster."
"Yet thanks in part to a strong second half of the season, some help form UDFAs, and fifth-round LB Shemar James getting six starts, the 2025 rookie class accumulated 2,956 snaps, which is 11.7% of the total amount of snaps the Cowboys played on offense and defense last year. That may not sound like much at first glance, but those 11.7% are the equivalent of 2.6 starters, which is slightly above the Cowboys' multi-year average."
Tyler Booker started 14 games as a rookie and Donovan Ezeiruaku started nine while adjusting to the NFL. Shavon Revel missed the first half of the season with a trainer's-room stint before starting five of the final seven games. Jaydon Blue played only 78 offensive snaps across five games and required significant coaching. Phil Mafah saw very limited action in the season finale, and two draft picks failed to make the 53-man roster. Undrafted free agents and fifth-round linebacker Shemar James (six starts) boosted the class. The rookies combined for 2,956 snaps, 11.7% of team snaps, equating to 2.6 starters and topping the team's multi-year average.
