The Dallas Cowboys have been busy in the offseason, making moves to strengthen their roster before training camp. One of their recent signings is St. Louis Battlehawks inside linebacker Willie Harvey Jr., who led the UFL in total tackles, tackles for loss, passes defended, and forced fumbles during the spring league season. Harvey, who was an undrafted free agent in 2019, has played in four NFL games, primarily on special teams. The Cowboys are hoping he can follow in the footsteps of previous spring league signings like KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey, who both had successful seasons after joining the team.
Coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the team’s commitment to continuous improvement, noting that they are always looking to add quality players to the roster. With Harvey’s impressive performance in the UFL and his potential to make an impact on the field, the Cowboys are optimistic about his future with the team. If he can build on his success in the spring league, Harvey could become a valuable asset for Dallas in the upcoming season.
The Cowboys have a history of turning spring league signings into key contributors, as seen with Turpin’s Pro Bowl season and Aubrey’s record-breaking performance. With Harvey’s skills and determination, he has the opportunity to prove himself and earn a significant role in the Cowboys’ defense. As Dallas prepares for the upcoming season, fans will be eager to see how Harvey performs and whether he can continue the trend of successful spring league acquisitions for the team.
