The Dallas Cowboys strapped on full pads for the first time during in this year’s training camp on Sunday, and players were eager to get the pads cracking.<\/p>\n

Running backs and the men up front in the trenches had the most excitement about bringing the contact, including former UFL standout Perrion Winfrey, who could develop into a force along the Cowboys’ interior defensive line.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-4, 291-pound Winfrey, a former Cleveland Browns fourth-round NFL Draft pick, starred for the Birmingham Stallions during the 2025 season and earned All-UFL honors.<\/p>\n

Winfrey recorded 29 total tackles, nine tackles for a loss, four pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a sack in 10 games. Throughout the first week of training camp with the Cowboys, Winfrey is already impressing the coaching staff and has earned first-team reps.<\/p>\n

Dallas has some serious questions at defensive tackle, especially with former first-round pick Mazi Smith struggling with consistency throughout the start of his NFL career, so Winfrey is an intriguing player.<\/p>\n

He is also familiar with the team’s new defensive staff.<\/p>\n

Before reviving his career in the UFL, Winfrey had a brief stint with the\u00a0New York Jets, where he played under new Cowboys defensive line coach\u00a0Aaron Whitecotton\u00a0and Cowboys defensive assistant Tanzel Smart alongside new Dallas defensive end\u00a0Solomon Thomas.<\/p>\n

If he continues to impress during camp, Winfrey could become the latest UFL standout to go from the spring leagues to starring for the Cowboys, alongside the likes of All-Pros KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.<\/p>\n
