In his three seasons, he&#8217;s played in 49 names and logged 19 starts. He has 164 tackles and 4.5 sacks for his career.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f6jCaU\">With DeMarvion Overshown&#8217;s availability for 2025 in question and Eric Kendricks being a free agent, Sanborn is a nice guy to snag before addressing the position again in the\u00a0NFL draft. Marist Liufau will need some help to start the year, and the Cowboys will likely add to the position in the draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eUUqsA\">He has previously worked with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus in Chicago, and he has plenty of special teams experience. He is a player who can help in multiple ways and has experience with the defensive coaches, so he can help teach parts of the scheme to other players.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys have a new linebacker The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0continue to add to their defense.
