DMN Blog | Cowboys bringing Arizonz CB in...
by Albert Breer
With the draft on the horizon, the Cowboys have started the process of setting up pre-draft visits.
Arizona CB Antoine Cason and UNLV ILB Beau Bell are among those who have been invited to Valley Ranch, according to agent Ron Slavin. Cason will be in Dallas on April 16 and 17, and Bell will be in town around the same time, though a specific date has not been set up yet for him.
These are significant because each team is allowed just 30 in-house visits with prospects prior to the draft.
Cason's on-field performance hasn't been the big concern with him, as he won the Thorpe Award as a senior at Arizona. It's his speed that raised questions, and he answered some of those by clocking a 4.45 40 and a position-best 4.08 in the short shuttle at the combine.
Bell, meanwhile, is a potential second-rounder who played as a collegian in the Rebels' 3-4, which could have him fitting in nicely as a Cowboy.
The important thing to note about these visits is they are not workouts, and are not allowed to be workouts. Instead, they give the team a chance to interview the prospect and put him through a physical.
Teams are allowed to have two private visits with a prospect. Sometimes, those are a pair of private workouts, which are normally conducted on the player's campus. And other times, there's a private workout and in-house visit.
