I wanted to see if the Cowboys’ defensive rebuild actually changed the shape of the roster, not just the names on the transaction wire. So I went through the current Cowboys roster, grouped the defense into defensive line, linebacker, and defensive back, and looked at the average height, weight, and age by position. Cowboys Defensive Averages Show Where the Roster Really ChangedThe defensive line group for the Dallas Cowboys came out to roughly 6’3”, 288 pounds, and 26 years old on average. The current group is built around Justin Barron, Shemar James, Isaiah Land, Marist Liufau, and DeMarvion Overshown. Last season, bigger veteran defensive backs littered the secondary.
