DaRon Bland, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons could and should all be on the list somewhere. The question is where exactly the rest of the Dallas players will pop up.

He’s a leader among other Cowboys offensive linemen

As Dallas begins camp, there are some players the team is looking to step up. Among those is left guard Tyler Smith. Count Martin among those who believe he’s going to take a big step up in 2024. In doing so, Martin continued to show what a leader looks like.

“He can take a big step,” Martin told the media earlier this week. “He was dominant last year. Really dominant. But he can get better, that’s the scary thing. I think he’s one of the top guys in the league, and he’s gonna be there for a while. The sky’s the limit for that guy.”
