Dallas Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner will try to hold off a charge from RB Lance Dunbar for the third running back job in training camp. Both players are the result of scouting work done in Dallas Day workouts, the team’s pre-draft workouts for Dallas-area prospects.
Cowboys | Phillip Tanner has competition for No. 3 RB job
The Dallas Cowboys hold their annual Dallas Day workouts before the draft for players with ties to the local area. Former WR Patrick Crayton is the biggest success story from past workouts, but current RB Phillip Tanner is an example on the current roster of a player who caught the eye of the team in Dallas Day workouts. Four players were inked as a result of these workouts this year. LB Adrian Hamilton is a pass rusher who has a chance to make the team. CB Isaac Madison earned some reps with the first-team nickel package, and will be fighting for a fifth cornerback job in training camp. WR Cole Beasley might be another option in the pass game, while RB Lance Dunbar will be fighting for the No. 3 running back job. Dunbar will also get a chance to impress on kickoff returns.

Free-agent WR Plaxico Burress said he believes QB Tim Tebow could replace QB Mark Sanchez by midseason as the team’s starting quarterback. ‘It’s a possibility, you can’t rule it out,’ Burress said. ‘I mean, they did bring him in for a reason. I think he’s going to make Mark Sanchez a better quarterback. When they bring in somebody at your position, he’s going to compete for it.’ Burress reportedly doesn’t think much of Sanchez as a QB, and he told friends late last season he was no fan of Sanchez.

The New York Jets braintrust sounds unwilling to re-negotiate the contract of CB Darrelle Revis, and they expect him to report for training camp.
