In the pros, Ezeiruaku, the Cowboys’ second-round pick edge rusher, has just one sack and nine quarterback hits through eight games of his rookie season.
He said he’s improving each week, and that’s been evident recently as he hits the halfway mark of his first year as an NFL player.
In the last three weeks, Ezeiruaku has six tackles, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and one sack.
“I think I’ve been getting better every week,” he said. “I think it’s going pretty well in terms of my individual personal development. But it’s obviously tough when you know as a team we’re not doing what we’re supposed to do. Sometimes it feels that I’m not really progressing as a player individually but things are going well. I’m healthy and I’m going to continue to push and get wins.”
