Three Cowboys with a lot to prove heading into 2025

Who do you think needs to break out for the Cowboys in 2025?

The Dallas Cowboys have a mandatory minicamp to go before things go quiet until training camp arrives. Before we get there, let’s take a look at three players who have a lot to prove heading into the 2025 season.

Donovan Wilson, Safety

The safety position seemed to fall a little under the radar over the offseason. Both Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker had somewhat of a down year in 2024. It was rumored that strong safety Donovan Wilson could be a surprise cap casualty due to his struggles in 2024 and his lack of fit in Matt Eberflus’ defense.

As of today, Wilson’s job is likely safe, but he has a lot to prove this season. Wilson is heading into the final year of his contract and his play in 2025 will likely dictate the type of deal he receives in 2026.

Javonte Williams, Running Back

One of the biggest question marks heading into the offseason was the running back position. Not many had Rico Dowdle signing elsewhere in free agency, but after an early signing of Javonte Williams by the Cowboys, the door for Dowdle to return closed rather quickly.

Williams has struggled to gain any momentum since tearing his ACL in 2022. Since his injury, Williams has yet to surpass 3.7 yards per carry and has been one of the worst running backs in the league in terms of yards over expectation. Williams will be in a battle this training camp with Miles Sanders and rookie fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue. While Williams is likely the favorite to be the starting running back in 2025, he has plenty to prove heading into training camp and during the regular season to earn back his stripes.

Jake Ferguson, Tight End

Heading into the 2024 season, Jake Ferguson was talked about as a possible Pro Bowl-caliber player. Unfortunately injuries to himself and Dak Prescott quickly saw his impact drop.

Like Donovan Wilson, Ferguson is also heading into the final year of his rookie contract and how he plays in 2025 will greatly impact what his contract will look like in 2026. Given Ferguson’s injuries in 2024, it is safe to say that injuries played more of a part in his decline than his play falling off. With both Dak Prescott and Jake Ferguson fully healthy heading into the season, it will be a big year for Ferguson to prove that he is one of the ten best tight ends in the NFL, which is what many thought of him after a very nice 2023 season.
