Cowboys | Teammate praises Marshawn Kneeland’s ceiling

Dallas Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland was the team’s second-round draft pick this spring and just turned 23 years old, but it has not taken long for him to find an admirer in teammate DeMarcus Lawrence.

‘He has a lot of ambition, grit with his game. His fundamentals are pretty clean, especially for a rookie. It’s a high ceiling for him. I’m going to keep working with him as much as I can. I definitely think he’s going to evolve into something even better than me. … Marshawn definitely has some instinctive play to his style. He’s down, dirty, gritty. He’s 275 (pounds); I never played at 275, so it’s definitely a little difference, but I like the grit about him,’ Lawrence told reporters earlier in the week.
