"With the Cowboys transitioning to a 3-4 scheme under new coordinator Christian Parker, that is not the best of news for Ezeiruaku, who projects to be an outside linebacker, although he should be able to take part in the walkthroughs in the spring and June minicamp."
"While he had just two sacks, coach Brian Schottenheimer said he believes Ezeiruaku, who led college football with 17.5 sacks in his final year at Boston College, can be a star."
"Ezeiruaku was credited with 40 tackles and a forced fumble in his first season with the Cowboys. His seven tackles for loss led the defense and his 43 quarterback pressures were second most."
Donovan Ezeiruaku, a second-round Cowboys draft pick, underwent hip surgery to repair a labrum tear and may not return until training camp begins. The timing is challenging as Dallas transitions to a 3-4 defensive scheme under new coordinator Christian Parker, where Ezeiruaku projects as an outside linebacker. Despite recording only two sacks as a rookie, Ezeiruaku demonstrated significant impact with 40 tackles, seven tackles for loss, 43 quarterback pressures, and one forced fumble. Coach Brian Schottenheimer believes Ezeiruaku can become a star, citing his college production of 17.5 sacks in his final season at Boston College. The Cowboys are actively seeking pass-rushing reinforcements through draft and free agency, potentially reconsidering their interest in retaining Jadeveon Clowney.
