Five SMU players worked out for the Dallas Cowboys on their annual "Dallas Day" workout:

K Chad Hedlund
C Taylor Lasecki
S Shakiel Randolph
OL Kris Weeks
DL/DS Zach Wood

hopefully few of them get free agent contracts

Best bets are Shak and Hedlund, with Hedlund having the best chance to make a roster IMO

Graduate transfer kicker is the best bet...some mighty fine recruiting there

I could see Randolph looking good in a workout situation. A shame he never turned into a football player.

Stay Gold, Pony Boy: SMU safety Shakiel Randolph – a spring-coiled 6-4, 213 pounds – had a 42-inch vertical at his pro day that would have come in first overall at the combine. In comparison to combine invitees, Randolph’s 4.59 40 (seventh for safeties), 10-foot-10 broad jump (second), 7.13 3-cone (ninth), and 16 bench press reps (tied, seventh) all would have made top ten for the position. Last year, Randolph had 39 tackles, including 1.5 for loss.

All the measurable are there, and you could see the athleticism in practice, especially when it was non-contact. He just never made plays during the games. Someone will give him a chance as a free agent because of the measurables, but his odds of making it through preseason are low.
