The Dallas Cowboys selected defensive tackle Justin Rogers from Auburn with their seventh-round pick in the 2024 draft on Saturday.

JUSTIN ROGERS

School: Auburn

Round:7, pick 244

Height: 6-3; Weight: 346

Hometown: Detroit, Michigan

What you should know about him: Rogers was ranked as the No. 1 player in the state of Michigan by 247 Sports during his high school career and began his college career at Kentucky before finishing at Auburn.

How he fits on Cowboys: The Cowboys drafted Mazi Smith last season to help shore up their defensive line but the rookie struggled and sparsely saw the field and in the offseason top defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins left in free agency to play for the Seattle Seahawks. Rogers could be a useful run-stuffer for the Cowboys.
