The Dallas Cowboys made a strategic pick at No. 76 in the recent NFL Draft, selecting cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. from East Carolina. Revel, originally projected as a first-round talent, fell to the third round due to an ACL injury he suffered last September. Standing at 6-3 and weighing 193 pounds, he showcased his potential with three interceptions and 12 pass deflections during his college career, particularly excelling in the 2023 season.

Dallas is optimistic about Revel's recovery, as he was a highly regarded prospect prior to his injury. The Cowboys had shown interest in him earlier in the draft, initially passing at the second round but were thrilled he remained available for their third-round selection. Revel’s size and skillset are expected to bolster the team's defensive depth and potentially provide a future starter.
