The Dallas Cowboys are considering Boise State's Ashton Jeanty for their No. 12 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Jeanty, a local standout, played high school football in the area and is viewed as the best running back in this draft class. His background allows him to participate in the Cowboys' exclusive 'Dallas Day,' giving the team an advantage over others in evaluating local talent. Executive vice president Stephen Jones emphasized the importance of having access to local players during the draft process.
"We're fortunate that we have a lot of really good football players in North Texas that qualify for us," executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
"Say, the best running back in the draft is right down the street. He may have played [at The Star] before."
"It is great that we do have a lot of guys that we can have in. It's been brought up before that some people have advantages when it comes to having their local days."
"It seems like a perfect match. The Dallas Cowboys have a need for a running back."
