When Mike McCarthy took over as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, he encountered a mix of seasoned veterans and fresh faces. Among the latter was Terence Steele, an undrafted rookie from Texas Tech who overcame significant odds to secure a starting position in his first game despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 restrictions.
Fast forward four years, and Steele has established himself as a mainstay on the Cowboys’ offensive line at right tackle. With a new contract and 57 career starts, he is gearing up for his fifth season, which he and Coach McCarthy agree is shaping up to be his best camp yet.
“I think he’s had his best camp as a Dallas Cowboy,” McCarthy remarked during a press conference. Steele echoed this sentiment, expressing his satisfaction with his progress, especially considering he is recovering from a torn ACL injury sustained the previous year.
Steele’s quick return from injury was remarkable, although it came with challenges. “I had some ups and downs, but who doesn’t coming back from injury as fast as I did,” Steele admitted. Despite these hurdles, he didn’t miss a snap or a practice.
This season, Steele is feeling healthier and more prepared than ever. “I feel awesome … 100 percent healthy,” he stated. His focus is now on maintaining his health and contributing to the team’s success.
Steele’s journey from an undrafted rookie to a key player for the Cowboys is a testament to his resilience and dedication. As he looks forward to an even better season, fans and teammates alike are eager to see what he will achieve.
