D'Angelo Ponds: Cowboys' Potential Day 2 Cornerback Steal

0:00On April 1st, the Dallas Cowboys are beefing up their secondary after a rough past defense last season in 2025. They sign safeties, Jalen Thompson and PJ Locke, plus cornerbacks, Kobe Durant and Dairy on Kendrick this off season. Still, they need more depth at corner, and one name popping up is Indiana's DeAngelo Ponds. Ponds lit up his pro day with the blazing 4.31 in the 40 yard dash. At 5 foot 9 and 182 pounds, he's not the biggest guy, but he plays with fire on the boundary and in the slot exactly where. Dallas could use him. Folks like Joseph Hoyt from the Dallas Morning News see him fitting perfect in defensive coordinator Christian Parker's scheme. Ponds has a knack for the ball, with tons of pass breakups in picks in college. He balled out at James Madison before helping Indiana snag their first national title. Scouts might nitpick his size and arm length. But his combine vertical was tops among corners, and he's proven he can hang with top competition.

1:02Cowboys might grab a corner early, like at the 12th or 20th pick, but trading back and land ponds on day 2. Keep an eye on how they maneuver, could be a steal for that secondary glow up.
