player. 123. <p>Round 6, No. 192 overall</p>. Defensive End. Stanford Cardinal. Peter Kalambayi. 6

For whatever the reason Peter Kalambayi was one of those guys that never seemed to live up to expectations at Stanford. The quick edge rusher posted the fourth fastest 40-yard dash at his position (4.57) at the NFL Combine but wasn’t ever able to translate that quickness into consistent production on the field.

In a vacuum there isn’t much about Kalambayi that isn’t to like. He’s quick, has great pursuit and tackling ability and stands 6-foot-3 and a respectable 252 pounds. He looks like a football player, and those traits are going to give him a shot at the next level.

The Dallas Cowboys need help on the outside. Demarcus Lawrence was a one man wrecking crew for them a season ago, but last year’s first round pick Taco Charlton was a non-factor. Kalambayi could find a role on special teams or a scout team as he works to become a more well-rounded player.
