This begins the "a player a day keeps the doctor away" saga as the season ramps into its starting gear, and with the swine flu running rampant, I think we all need to be reading. Check back daily for quick bios on each of the 22 starters on the Cowboys so that when the season starts, you know what you’re watching and know what you’re talking about. Hope you enjoy the inaugural entry about our favorite right guard, Leonard Davis.
At 6’6’’, and a solid 353 pounds, Leonard Davis is a big dude. Weighing considerably more than all the other starters on the offensive line, Leonard is a huge (see what I did there) reason the Cowboys have had such success running the ball. The Cowboys acquired him in 2007 as an unrestricted free agent, and he is actually the highest paid offensive lineman acquired on the free agent market in club history. A graduate from the University of Texas, since he began his stint on the Cowboys he has been to two consecutive pro bowls, and is cementing himself in the upper echelon of offensive guards in the NFL today. Wearing number 70 and playing right guard, watch for Leonard this season to dominate opponents and to hopefully make his way into his third straight pro bowl.
