Caleb Downs NFL Debut Against Giants | Dallas Cowboys News

Caleb Downs is set to make his NFL debut this Sunday night against the Giants — a team that passed on drafting him twice in April, instead selecting Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa. The Cowboys traded up to grab Downs at 11, making it a full-circle moment for the player whose dad once played for the Giants. With his brother Josh Downs also in the league, the family’s watching both games. Downs has already faced key Giants players like Malik Nabers and Jaxson Dart in college and knows what he’s up against. He’s also familiar with former Ohio State teammate Arvell Reese — they’re like brothers off the field but fierce competitors on it. Having battled elite talent like CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in practice, Downs is ready. His defensive coordinator’s message? Keep it simple and play to your strengths. Kickoff is at 7:20 PM ET on NBC. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
