3 Most overhyped Dallas Cowboys in 2020
By Randy Gurzi
3. Tyler Biadasz, Center
Dallas lost a great player this offseason when center Travis Frederick retired. One of the centerpieces of their stalwart line, Frederick missed all of the 2018 season as he was battling Guillain-Barré syndrome, a symptom that attacks the nerves.

Frederick returned in 2019 but he wasn’t satisfied with how he played. He said he was no longer to give the team what they deserved and wasn’t okay with playing at less than 100 percent. Frederick still made it to the Pro Bowl last season even without being his normal self and is going to be hard to replace.
Currently, it looks as though Joe Looney and Connor McGovern are the top options to start in 2020 but there are plenty of people pulling for Tyler Biadasz. Just like Frederick, Biadasz was a standout at Wisconsin, a school known for turning out offensive linemen.
Biadasz was a steal in the fourth round but expecting him to come in as a rookie and seamlessly replace Frederick is a bit much. It also might be too much to expect him to easily overthrow Joe Looney who started all 16 games in 2018 in place of Frederick.
In time, Biadasz will likely be the starting center in Dallas and it wouldn’t be a shock to see him have a long and successful career. However, he might need some time at the next level before all that is put into motion.
