OL. Jayhawks . Hakeem Adeniji. 113. player. 821.

Four-year starters at left tackle are the equivalent of a college football unicorn and Kansas’ Hakeem Adeniji is one of those mythical creatures.

The Cowboys are in a better position on the offensive line than most teams around the league but extra depth never hurt anyone. At 6-foot-4, 304 pounds, Adeniji may be best suited for a move to guard at the pro level where his invaluable experience at left tackle should help ease the transition in pass protection.

Adeniji possesses excellent grip strength and plays with the level of technical savvy you’d expect out of a four-year starter. He’s also solid athlete as evidenced by his Combine numbers (34-inch vertical jump, 9-foot-7 inch broad jump) and has enough length to deal with opposing pass rushers.

Dallas has several connections to Kansas coach Les Miles on their new staff, which could put them in a good position to pick up the Texas native in the fourth round.
