The Dallas Cowboys are intensifying their pre-draft evaluations by hosting two prominent cornerback prospects: Jermod McCoy from the University of Tennessee and D'Angelo Ponds from Indiana University. McCoy, a consensus top cornerback, faced skepticism due to an ACL injury that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. However, his standout performance at Tennessee's pro day has prompted the Cowboys to reconsider their initial stance on him. Meanwhile, Ponds, who stands at five-foot-eight and weighs around 180 pounds, is recognized for his speed and toughness, despite his smaller stature potentially being a drawback for some NFL teams. The Cowboys have now met with nine of the top eleven cornerbacks listed in Dane Brugler's draft guide, indicating a strong focus on bolstering their secondary ahead of the draft in Pittsburgh. The team's strategy appears to be evolving, with questions surrounding their genuine interest in McCoy and the implications of Ponds' visit as they prepare for their first-round picks.
