Former TCU RB Sewo Olonilua Dallas Cowboys Most Intriguing Rookie?

28 Comments

When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys 2020 rookie class, drafted or undrafted, there’s one player I’m really intrigued with right now… former TCU Running Back Sewo Olonilua.

I know it’s a little strange to say considering he went undrafted, however, I really think Sewo Olonilua might just be the Dallas Cowboys most intriguing rookie right now. From his size (6’3″, 240) to his skill set, there’s a lot to like about the intangibles he’s bringing to the Cowboys and I’ll tell you why.

Despite playing mostly as a running back and sometimes Wildcat QB during his time at TCU, there’s a lot more to Sewo Olonilua’s game than what meets the eye. If you’ve watched his film, you already know what he brings to the table as a running back. And if you haven’t, here’s a reminder…

As impressive as Olonilua’s highlights are, I think there’s so much more to his game the Dallas Cowboys can tap into. They currently have him listed as a fullback, however, I think it would be unwise of them to pigeonhole him to just one position. I believe he has the potential to be so much more.

If it were up to me, I would take full advantage of Olonilua’s versatility. I think he can be utilized as a short yardage RB, a pass protector, a receiving threat out of the backfield, and a traditional fullback in a H-back kind of role. That’s already more than Jamize Olawale brings to the table, who is likely his main competition for a roster spot.

Sewo Olonilua is already a well-rounded prospect coming into camp, but I believe it’s his versatility that should allow him to stand out among the other Dallas Cowboys players, not just rookies. Because of that, I think he’s the most intriguing rookie to join the Cowboys this offseason. Do you agree?

Who do you think the Dallas Cowboys most intriguing rookie is?
