Luke Gifford is ready for his second season with the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys bolstered their linebacking group last week when they re-signed Sean Lee, Joe Thomas, and Justin March. This created a level of depth for the middle of the defense.

A name that is very much worth knowing outside of those is Luke Gifford. The Cowboys signed Gifford as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska last year and he impressed many early in the preseason. Unfortunately he was hurt, but the Cowboys liked him so much that they carried him on their roster, and eventually he got playing time before (again, unfortunately) he was hurt again.

Gifford is a point of depth for the Cowboys and will likely be a key contributor on special teams under new coordinator John Fassel. We caught up with him on the latest episode of The Ocho, and we got to know him quite a bit.

• Who he is close with on the Cowboys
• What he thinks of Mike McCarthy and the new coaching staff (plus his thoughts on Jason Garrett)
