Undrafted Rookie Holden Impresses in Cowboys' Padded Practices

With the Dallas Cowboys' preseason opener just days away, several players have used the team's recent padded practices to boost their chances of making the final roster. One of the most notable standouts has been undrafted rookie wide receiver Traeshon Holden, who has risen to the top of the second-tier receiver group during camp.

Holden, who was initially considered a long shot to make the team, has consistently made plays, particularly on the sidelines and in the back of the end zone. His awareness and excellent hands have impressed the coaching staff, and he is now battling for the fourth or fifth receiver spot on the depth chart.

Another player who has cemented his roster spot is running back Jaydon Blue. With Deuce Vaughn sidelined by an injury, Blue has received more reps and has showcased his impressive explosion and vision, making a remarkable one-handed catch that turned heads. He has firmly established himself as a contributor who will make the final 53-man roster.

On the defensive side, Perrion Winfrey has been a standout at defensive tackle. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound tackle has been a problem for the Cowboys' powerful interior offensive line, regularly playing with the first team alongside Osa Odighizuwa. Winfrey's ability to penetrate and make plays in the backfield has made him a sure thing to make the roster.

As the Cowboys prepare for their first preseason game against the Rams, these players have seized the opportunity to prove their worth and solidify their spots on the team.
