DJ Rogers, an undrafted free agent tight end, is attempting to secure a place on the Dallas Cowboys' roster. Competing with veteran players and fellow undrafted free agent Michael Trigg, Rogers aims to improve his blocking and receiving skills. He had a productive final season at TCU but enters training camp with a low roster chance at 10%.
