With the 212th pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Kavon Frazier from Central Michigan University.
Frazier started all 13 games last season for the Chippewas. He earned second team All-MAC honors and ranked ninth in the MAC with 108 tackles. He ranked 10th in the league in tackles per game with 8.3. He recorded a team-high 74 solo tackles and ranked second nationally in solo tackles per game with 5.7.
Frazier is a man’s man. He stands 6’0″ and weighs in at just under 220 pounds. His broad shoulders and muscular build combined with his explosiveness and quickness for a strong safety makes him a nightmare for the opposing team’s tight end.
If Frazier can learn not to react to head fakes and stay out of traffic, he has a shot at being a solid backup for the Cowboys and, eventually, compete his way into a starting role.
