The Dallas Cowboys moved up in the fifth round to grab Orlando Scandrick with the 143rd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, and he has since proven to be worth the move as a valuable contributor in the Dallas secondary and on special team's units. The former Boise State standout, who left college after only three years, served as the nickel cornerback for the majority of his first five seasons before settling in as one of the starters. Scandrick briefly rotated starts with Mike Jenkins for the starting cornerback spot opposite Terence Newman at the beginning of the 2009 season before settling back into the nickel cornerback role. His role expanded in 2013 as he became the starter opposite Brandon Carr, starting 15 of the 16 games he played. His career year in 2013 (70 tackles and 15 breakups) was rewarded when he signed a two-year contract extension - in the middle of his five-year deal - through 2018.
