Malik Jefferson’s speed, range would work well in defensive system

Linebacker depth is a major need for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, and they could add to their chart with University of Texas star LB Malik Jefferson.

Although his career at Texas was somewhat of a roller coaster, if Jefferson can develop consistency and partner that with his speed, he could be just what “America’s Team” needs.


His range is superior, as he has the ability to play the weak side, as well as linebacker, in a 4-3 system like Dallas runs.

As a Longhorn, Jefferson recorded 231 tackles, 13 sacks and two fumbles.
