For all of the issues we've seen with Christian Parker and the Dallas Cowboys' defense this season, it's safe to say that veteran defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia hasn't been one of them. If anything, he's been a bright spot for a unit that hasn't had much to be excited about over the course of the year.
Ogbonnia was a player the Cowboys signed away from Los Angeles to just a one-year deal worth $3 million in free agency. Hopes weren't high for him, especially because he was set to play behind Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark, but he's started to make a name for himself as an elite run stuffer.
However, in the snaps that he has played, he has real merit to be the NFL's best true run defender. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris, among all interior defensive linemen with over 100 snaps played against the run, Ogbonnia is the player with the highest run-stop rate at 13%.
That's better than guys like Dexter Lawrence, Derrick Brown, Jordan Davis, and even Quinnen Williams. So, while he may not be a household name, the fact that made this much of an impact as a run stuffer across seven games in Dallas has to at least be something the Cowboys can be proud of.
