He became a full-time starter in Dallas last year and has the size and length that Baltimore covets. Golston isn\u2019t a big-name defender, but he is a winning player who would fit well in Baltimore\u2019s defense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_6_5\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7h380bhyn\">Golston is coming off of the best season of his NFL career, as he registered 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, an interception and five passes defended in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_w94pi56ca\">The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Iowa, was selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_2ic5eemid\">He was relatively quiet over his first three seasons, totaling 3.5 sacks between 2021 and 2023.
