The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine is behind us now, and Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones identified some valuable talent that could help his team in the draft. The Cowboys are expected to be players for an offensive lineman in April, and one player who could be a good fit for Dallas is Wyoming’s Frank Crum.
“The former Cowboy was sensational in the athletic testing portion of combine and moved well during the on-field drills. Nothing was more fluid than the flow he was sporting on his head, though, which is famously known as lettuce. He co-owned the title for the fastest 40-yard dash time before Rosengarten bested him but he still tied for the second-fastest with a 4.94.
“Crum also tied for the second-fastest 10-yard split (1.69), tied for the fourth-best broad jump (9-foot-6), had the fifth-best three-cone time (7.39), and had a Top-10 vertical leap (31.5).”
Crum started all 13 games at left tackle at Wyoming last season and spent all of 2022 at right tackle. So he possesses the adaptability that the Cowboys desire along the offensive line. If he’s still available at No. 56 in the second round, he could immediately add depth and possibly move into a starting role. The potential loss of left tackle Tyron Smith combined with center Tyler Biadasz also possibly hitting free agency creates an immediate need to add bodies along the offensive line. If the Cowboys still covet flexibility there, Crum could be a good fit through the draft.
