leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a bounce-back season, and that includes digging deep for talent.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dtzwzoy29\">As reported by James Larsen of the UFL Newsroom, they\u2019ll host UFL standout defensive end DeVere Levelston for a workout.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\"

season, logging 2.0 sacks and 12 tackles after joining the team midway through the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>He also has NFL experience, as the Seattle Seahawks signed him as an undrafted free agent last season, although he never came off the practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>Levelston attended high school near Dallas before enrolling at Tyler Junior College.<\/p>\n<p>He later transferred to SMU and finished with 90 combined tackles, 11.0 sacks and one fumble recovery in four seasons.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls

All-Pros and some of the best players in the league at their respective crafts.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys bolstered their pass rush by bringing back Dante Fowler Jr. after a stint with the Washington Commanders, and they have one of the most disruptive forces in the game in Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>But you can never have too much depth on defense, especially in a stacked division like the NFC
