"The Dallas Cowboys' 2025 defense was one of the worst defensive units the NFL has ever seen. The atrocious Dallas defense gave up 511 points, the most in the league, and let opposing offenses record 340 or more yards of total offense in 11 of their 17 games."
"When the Cowboys selected cornerback Shavon Revel with the 76th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, consensus around the league was that Dallas may have gotten the steal of the entire draft. Revel, who was coming off an ACL tear in September of 2024, was seen as a consensus first-round talent if he could get back healthy."
"Revel gave up 21 catches for 295 yards in those seven matchups, consistently struggling to slow down receivers. On the year Revel posted a 34.6 coverage grade, via Pro Football Focus, the worst of any cornerback in the league (min 200 coverage snaps)."
The Dallas Cowboys fielded one of the worst defenses in NFL history during the 2025 season, surrendering 511 points and allowing opponents to gain 340+ yards in 11 of 17 games. The team requires substantial defensive upgrades through free agency and the draft, but current roster players must also elevate their performance. Cornerback Shavon Revel, selected 76th overall in 2025 after recovering from an ACL injury, represents a key player needing improvement. Revel made his NFL debut in Week 11 but struggled significantly in seven games, allowing 21 catches for 295 yards with a 34.6 coverage grade—the worst among qualified cornerbacks. His performance fell far short of pre-draft expectations as a consensus first-round talent.
