It is that point of the NFL offseason when we can start to think that maybe anything is possible, when a little-used player who has no resume to speak of can look good enough to spark speculation that maybe, just maybe, he could be an out-of-the-blue rags-to-riches story. Given the way the Cowboys roster has been bedraggled by free-agency losses and the lack of cap space to make up for those losses, one or two of those stories in Dallas would be useful.
On the Locked on Cowboys podcast, they went looking through the current set of Cowboys for potential “sleeper” options who could come from (almost) nowhere to earn a spot on the 53-man roster and, from there, on to NFL glory.
And the guy host Marcus Mosher came up with as his Cowboys sleeper is interesting, indeed: Tyron Billy-Johnson, the sixth-year wide receiver whose last name has the potential to cause headaches for copyeditors everywhere.
