The Dallas Cowboys Secondary Training Camp Battles + More | Law Nation Sports | NewsBreak

Dan Quinn, the Cowboys' new defensive coordinator, will have no problems benching Vander Esch or Smith. He has known Keanu Neal since they were together with the Atlanta Falcons and Micah Parsons has been impressive in his first workouts with the team. Neal has moved from safety to linebacker full time and, in a Quinn defense that uses a lot of nickel personnel, he'll be a valuable asset on passing downs. Smith is a good player as well, but after a below-average 2020 season, he's got a lot of work to do to keep his starting job. In the middle linebacker spot, Parsons is the favorite to land the starting job, but Vander Esch surely won't let it go easily. Don't forget about the secondary battles especially at the CB2 spot and more for this 2021 training camp season.
