The Dallas Cowboys report to Oxnard, California in just over two weeks for the start of training camp.

This year, Dallas will be relying on a lot of young, unproven players to step up and fill holes on the roster, but there are a number of players ready to step up and prove they are the man for the job.

Blogging the Boys took a look at some of the players who could become training camp standouts, with a handful of rookies, a former training camp standout from his rookie season, and a former top-three pick.


What is the Cowboys' biggest team need?

There are a few weak areas on the Cowboys roster, but on weakness stands out more than the rest: defensive tackle.

Dallas' interior defensive line is a major unknown entering the 2024 season, and training camp will tell us a lot about what to expect. Mazi Smith is expected to have a breakout year after a disappointing rookie season, but can he really be relied on?

The Cowboys have a good 3-tech starter in Osa Odighizuwa, but their 1-tech spot will need someone to step up. Will it be Smith? Could it be seventh-round pick Justin Rogers? How about undrafted free agent Denzel Daxon? Only time will tell, but someone needs to handle the job.
