This offseason, the Dallas Cowboys made several additions to their roster. Their new running backs and the reunion with Dante Fowler have gotten most of the headlines but the addition of Solomon Thomas can be just as important.
Thomas, the No. 3 overall pick in 2017, spent the past three seasons with the New York Jets. He played some of his best football during that tenure, even recording 8.5 sacks over the past two seasons.
Now the Texas native is returning home and couldn’t be happier. Thomas said he’s not only excited to play for Dallas, but is happy to do so while playing for defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton — who held the same role with the Jets while Thomas played for them.

Thomas hasn’t lived up to the expectations that come with being the third overall selection but the Stanford product is a talented rotational defender who will help the rest of the unit follow Whitecotton’s plan.
