WATCH: Cowboys rookie cornerback soars for impressive interception
The Dallas Cowboys were considering taking Wake Forest cornerback Caelen Carson in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. When they decided to pass on him, they were thrilled to see him still on the board when they were back on the clock at pick No. 174 in the fifth round.
Carson is a 6-foot-0, 199-pound corner who excels in press coverage.
There’s a sense the Cowboys see him as their future slot corner with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland locking down the outside spots.

On Sunday, we all got to see exactly why the front office was so pumped to land Carson. In one-on-one coverage with wide receiver Kelvin Harmon, Carson was able to get in front of his man and make a leaping catch in front of the 6-2, 215-pound Harmon.

The secondary in Dallas is loaded with Diggs, Bland, and Jourdan Lewis as their top three corners. They also have Eric Scott, Jr. who was a fifth-rounder in 2024, and Nahshon Wright, a third-round selection in 2021. It did get slightly thinner, however, when Gareon Conley was released since he plans to retire.
Carson is likely going to spend this season on special teams but should be a key member of the defense before long. Especially if he keeps making plays like this.

Trackdown: Dallas 7-Eleven robbery suspect wanted
DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
What you can do:
The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
Tipsters can call or text Det. Villa at 469-755-8445.
“I need his information so I can talk to him about this incident,” he said.
