Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports When the Dallas Cowboys selected Travis Frederick in April’s draft, they were questioned by almost everybody. How could they pick someone who didn’t have as high of a draft grade as some of the other players who were still available? Fast forward a few months and even though people still have their doubts, the Cowboys don’t seem to share that concern. If anything, Frederick has reaffirmed the Cowboys faith in him with his football intelligence. According to the Star-Telegram the center has stood out because of his football IQ. “One of the traits that we identified early was his ability to communicate, his retention of the system, his ability to communicate it out,” offensive line coach Bill Callahan said.

I think Cowboys fans will fall in love with this pick. Frederick is a very humble individual that is a force on the field. Source: YardBarker ...
