It's much too early to predict which undrafted rookie free agents have a chance to make the Cowboys roster. But one who caught the eye of the coaching staff in the rookie mini-camp and held his own in OTAs is Barry Church.
The safety was voted first team All Mid-American Conference in each of his four years at Toledo. He was also a force on special teams, blocking three kicks his senior season.
Assistant coaches Dave Campo and Brett Maxie liked what they saw. When the Cowboys didn't draft Church, he became one of their priority free agents. The club actually called Church at the end of the fifth round to let him know if they didn't draft him, they still wanted him in camp.
"I thought initially that he was a box safety, that's all he could do,'' Campo said. "But the guy moves better than I thought he did, to be honest with you.
"I don't know what he'll do, but I know he moves better than I thought. Plus, he seems pretty smart.''
