Why the Cowboys are excited about Shavon Revel Jr., other draft picks

by | May 8, 2025

Although he’s been limited so far as he continues to recover from ACL surgery, the Dallas Cowboys remain excited about the prospects of ECU football alum Shavon Revel Jr.

The Athletic’s Mike Sando wrote a review of the draft classes of the 16 NFC teams. He was high on the Cowboys, especially with their second and third-round picks. The second-round pick was OL Donovan Ezeiruaku, while the third-round pick was Revel.

The Athletic’s Jon Machota wrote in part, “Revel, who is working back from a torn ACL and partial meniscus tear in his left knee during practice at East Carolina in September, was moving well and did not appear to be limited on Saturday. At the moment, the plan is to have him remain a limited participant through the start of training camp where he will likely begin on the physically unable to perform list. But there is confidence that he will come off the PUP list during camp and be ready for the start of the season.”
