Healthy Competition: 5 Matchups To Watch In Camp

The battle between starting tight end and established veteran Jason Witten and young phenom starting safety Byron Jones has already begun. And boy is it going to be a fun one. During mini-camp this week, Witten caught a ball on Jones and immediately turned around and yelled “All day!” before heading back to his huddle. The two are obviously fierce competitors, and while some people are looking for a decline in Witten with age, he is clearly working to keep himself on a productive track.

Cowboys Headlines - Healthy Competition: 5 Matchups To Watch In Camp 3

This one isn’t going to happen all of the time, as guys like Brandon Carr, Anthony Brown, and Morris Claiborne will all get their shot at Dez, but when it does happen, watch out.

Orlando Scandrick is back with an attitude and level of skill that no one else in this cornerback group has. He is the man of the group, and has absolutely no back down in him.

This makes his matchup with Dez Bryant must-see television (even though it’s not on television).

You know that Bryant and Scandrick will be jawing at each other, and you know that they will both be going 100 miles an hour to get better each and every day.

This will be a fun one to watch, here’s a sneak peak from 2014 courtesy of the Star Telegram:
