PRO: The Dallas Cowboys improved their secondary immediately during 2012 free agency by signing talented
cornerback Brandon Carr to a five-year contract. Carr, who started every game over his first four seasons
while with Kansas City, came to the Cowboys as the shut-down cover corner the club was seeking. In his first
season with Dallas, Carr again started all 16 games and led the team with three interceptions and 11 pass
breakups while finishing eighth with 62 tackles. He also registered his first career touchdown when he
returned a pick 47 yards for the score at Philadelphia (11/11). His second season in Dallas also saw him start
all 16 games while pacing the club with 17 pass breakups, finishing second with three interceptions and placing
fourth with 74 tackles. In 2014 - Carr’s third season in Dallas - he was seventh on the team with 58 tackles,
posted his first career sack and was second with 12 deflections, again starting all 16 games. Through
seven pro seasons, Carr has 112 consecutive starts - 115 including postseason - 459 tackles, 101 pass
breakups and 14 interceptions.
