The Dallas Cowboys auditioned multiple UFL defensive players on Tuesday.
According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, four players worked out with Dallas on Tuesday. That includes two former first-round cornerbacks.
Gareon Conley and Deandre Baker tried out for the Cowboys on Tuesday. Linebackers Willie Harvey Jr. and Noah Dawkins also participated in the workout.
UFL players can sign an NFL contract after the San Antonio Brahmas face the Birmingham Stallions in Sunday’s championship game.
The No. 24 pick in 2017, Conley hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since the 2019 postseason. He collected four interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) in 23 games with the Raiders before getting traded to the Houston Texans, where he broke up 14 passes in 10 games.
Conley produced 25 tackles and two interceptions for the DC Defenders this season.
The New York Giants selected Baker with the No. 30 pick in 2019, but he lasted only one season with the organization. They waived the former Georgia star months after he was arrested on charges of armed robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm in 2020.
Baker played 10 games in two seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs. He broke up two passes with 21 tackles and a sack in limited reps before making this year’s All-UFL team on the Defenders.
The Cowboys will also work out Harvey, a former Cleveland Browns special teamer who led the UFL in tackles this season. Dawkins, who wrapped up his season with the Michigan Panthers, played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets from 2019 to 2021.
