The Dallas Cowboys continued to bolster their defense by selecting Boston College edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku as their second-round pick in the NFL Draft. After an impressive junior season where he garnered All-American honors with 16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in just 12 games, Ezeiruaku joins a Cowboys defensive line that features Micah Parsons, adding a unique twist to the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry given his fandom for the latter.

Ezeiruaku's ties to the Eagles run deep, as friends and family showed up in Eagles gear at his draft party, prompting a humorous request for them to change. As he transitions into the Cowboys locker room, Ezeiruaku will need to embrace the rivalry with his new team, particularly given Parsons' disdain for the Eagles. This dynamic adds an exciting layer to the Cowboys’ defense, which is also focusing on character and leadership with Ezeiruaku being a team captain.
