The Dallas Cowboys may have unearthed a defensive gem in rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham, who lit up their win over the Cardinals with five tackles—including one for a loss—and drew praise from head coach for his aggressive play. A standout at Michigan after transferring from Maryland, Barham racked up 193 tackles, 23 for loss, and 12 sacks as a freshman, earning Freshman All-American honors. While adjusting to the NFL’s speed and intensity, his preseason performance signals he’s on the right track—and the Cowboys are betting big that he’ll become a key contributor sooner than later.
