The Dallas Cowboys have found more success recently when their defense is on the field, so it only made sense for them to keep revamping that side of their team.
With that in mind, they brought in veteran DB Stephon Gilmore, a former Defensive Player of the Year who still has plenty left in the tank.
Notably, it didn’t take long before the former New England Patriots star made his presence felt within the locker room, already having a great impression on Trevon Diggs.

It’s always nice to have a proven and bona fide veteran in the locker room, as even stars of the game can always take something positive and learn a lot from their time together.
