Players already on the roster heading into 2026. These are guys drafted third round or later, or undrafted free agents, who join the team between 2023 and 2025, have. Fewer than 500 career snaps on offense or defense, and will be 26 or younger next season. Free shows this group often explodes in year 2 or 3. Take safety, Donovan Wilson, a sixth round pick in 2019, who barely played as a rookie, but started most games soon after. Tied in Dalton Schultz and center Tyler Biodaz followed similar paths, turning limited snaps into starting roles. Even undrafted fullback, Hunter of the Web Key, earned a 2 year 7.5 million dollar extension after a quiet rookie year. The current list of candidates is not exactly stacked with superstars.

1:00It includes cornerbacks like 23-year-old Kaelin Carson with 463 snaps and 24-year-old Shavon Revel with 3, 134. Others like safety Alicia Clark and wider receiver Trayshawn Holden have minimal experience mostly on practice quads or special teams. Many might not even crack the 53-man roster this year.

Kaelin Carson showed promise in grades despite its tough season. Alicia Clark impressed enough for guaranteed money and special teams work. Watch for Sean Holden, turn pre-season buzz into a practice quads spot. Keep an eye on these under the radar talents as training camp heats up. They could be the next hidden gems shaping the Cowboys future.
