During his tenure on the practice squad for the Cowboys In the last three years, we have sought to develop the talent of alarcon as offensive tackle or guardpositional in which he even had activity in the 2022 preseason.
Despite the fact that the Mexican has accepted that in his career he never had experience to play defensively, impressed the defensive coaches of the lone star team to consider moving it to his line, a situation that was already confirmed last Monday.
