In March, the team began diving heavily into ways it could bolster competition at the safety position, something it has often overlooked doing. With the arrival of Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator to replace the ousted Mike Nolan, who lasted just one season in North Texas, came a renewed value on how the team approached the position; and it led to workouts for Hooker, former safety and veteran .At the time, it was Kazee and Kearse who walked away with an offer from the Cowboys, both signing one-year deals and, for Kazee, it was in large part due to where he was in his recovery from a season-ending torn Achilles suffered in 2020. Hooker, who suffered the same injury, was ruled out as an option at the time because the Cowboys weren't pleased with where he stood Mikko Koivu Jersey medically in March, going on to select rookie in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and proceeding through OTAs and minicamp.But with several practices under their belt at training camp in Oxnard, California, Quinn and head coach Mike McCarthy decided to check back in on Hooker, .

A former 15th overall pick of the in 2017, Hooker is the same age as Kazee and with a similarly high upside (if not a bit higher). Hooker grabbed seven interceptions in his first three seasons with the Colts -- a tantalizing stat for a takeaway-starved Cowboys defense, along with 76 combined tackles prior to playing in just two games in 2020. He's working to get back to prime form and if he can, a much-maligned safety corps in Dallas could potentially become anything but in 2021.
