The Dallas Cowboys' 2024 rookie class demonstrated a blend of potential and growing pains. While some players excelled, injuries and competition hampered others. ESPN's Mike Schatz analyzes the performance of each rookie, highlighting both successes and areas for improvement.
The Dallas Cowboys ' 2024 rookie class displayed a mixture of promise and challenges, according to ESPN's recent ranking. While the team showcased signs of improvement from its young talent, certain players faced hurdles throughout the season. ESPN analyst Mike Schatz evaluated each rookie's performance based on their contributions during the 2024 campaign. Offensive tackle Tyler Guyton, despite starting the season, struggled with pass blocking, ranking 30th in pass block win rate at 88.
9%, slightly above average in run block win rate at 75.7%. In contrast, center Cooper Beebe emerged as a standout performer, ranking eighth in pass block win rate (95.3%) and 10th in run block win rate (70.5%). Brevyn Spann-Ford, an undrafted free agent tight end, also impressed with nine catches for 88 yards and his blocking abilities.Defensively, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was recognized as the team's top rookie, showcasing his potential in the latter stages of the season with 50 total tackles, two forced fumbles, and 1.5 sacks. However, a torn meniscus sustained by second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland limited his impact, as he played only 36% of defensive snaps in the 11 games he participated in. The Cowboys' rookie evaluation was further affected by the absence of key players like edge rusher Jared Verse and defensive tackle Braden Fiske, who contributed significantly to the Los Angeles Rams' top-ranked rookie class. Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders secured the second spot, while the New York Giants ranked fifth thanks to wide receiver Malik Nabers's contributions. Philadelphia placed 12th, with cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean recognized for their defensive impact
