Kenny Vaccaro will meet with the Cowboys pre draft.

Kenny Vaccaro revealed at the combine he will visit, pre draft, with the Dallas Cowboys.

From Cowboys Stephen Jones:

"If there is a need on defense to me the biggest need is going to be safety," Jones said. "You got Church coming off an Achilles and obviously we really like everything we saw in Matt Johnson other than he couldn't get healthy."

This from scout Mike Mayock:

Vaccaro is the one that more tape I watched, the more I liked him. They played him closer to the line of scrimmage this year. He covered a bunch of slots this year. Watching (him) cover Tavon Austin at West Virginia, that's rare. In today's world, that's rare and it's important.
And I think his coverage ability is quick feet. He's tough as nails. He tackles. He looks to me, I've never met him, but it looks on tape like he loves the game. I have trouble thinking he's going to get past 15 or 20 even though safeties don't go that high. I think he'll be gone in the first 15 picks

Kenny is projected just about where the Cowboys draft at number eighteen. Another Longhorn who would look good with a star on his helmet.

When do the safeties work out??

Edit: nevermind. Just found it on nfl.com

Safeties work out tomorrow.

Some say the key to the Tampa Bay Cover Two defense is the safeties and Dallas has safeties but they suck.

KV could fix that. He is far and away the best safety in the draft.

Damn, nothing better than seeing Longhorns in Dallas uniforms. If Vaccaro were to wear the star, I would be insannnnnnnnnnneeeeeee Baby!

Kenny Vaccaro's official times in the Combine 40 yard dash

4.59 / 4.63

 

[Longhorns96]

Not too bad. Not great, but not too bad. How did some of the other stud DBs do?

 

[UTK66]

Pretty surprised he ran that poorly. I hope he does a helluva lot better at his pro day.

 

[UTK66]

Not too bad. Not great, but not too bad. How did some of the other stud DBs do?

@AdamSchefter: Official DB 40 times: Darius Slay 4.36, Dee Milliner 4.37, Desmond Trufant 4.38, Steve Williams 4.42, Tyrann Mathieu 4.50. Slay was a star.

I repeat Ed Reed of the Ravens fastest time ever was 4.57 and he'll go to the HOF when he's done.
