The Dallas Cowboys officially have the team’s 2025 rookie class under contract after coming to terms with second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku just days before training camp kicks off next week.
Ezeiruaku was the final player from the 2025 NFL Draft class to sign their deal as second-round picks around the league continue to be a holdup for several NFL teams.
While reports surfaced that Ezeiruaku agreed to terms late Thursday night, it became official on Friday when the Boston College pass rushing sensation put pen to paper.

If Ezeiruaku can live up to the hype, he can add to a dangerous pass rushing rotation led by one of the best in the league, Micah Parsons.
