Anthony Spencer, LB — Dallas Cowboys

March 23, 5:37 p.m.

Spencer should have a much bigger role in the Cowboys' defense this season as coach Wade Phillips tries to get more pass rushers on the field. Spencer had a limited role as a rookie, in part, because Greg Ellis made such a strong recovery from a torn Achilles' tendon. The Cowboys would love for Spencer to play well enough to earn the starting job, which would allow them to make Ellis a situational pass rusher, limit his snaps and keep him fresher.
