Meeting the Dallas Cowboys 2024 draft class: Justin Rogers

With their final selection, the Cowboys selected Justin Rogers, a defensive lineman from Auburn. Rogers spent the first three seasons of his college career in Lexington, Ky., playing for the University of Kentucky. However, the redshirt junior felt a change of scenery was best for him to achieve his dreams of playing at the professional level. Rogers appeared in 13 games with the Tigers last season, finishing with 17 total tackles and 1 sack.

The Cowboys defensive line depth chart has just as many holes as what we saw when discussing the offensive line. However, all that means is that there is plenty of opportunity for Rodgers to make his mark as a defensive tackle. While it may not be the best thing to hear when talking about a seventh-round pick seeing any meaningful playing time. It's certainly not a bad thing for Rogers to have a chance to prove the team made the right pick.
