Summary
Shavon Revel is a tall, long and imposing outside cornerback with a frame that naturally stands out. His straight-line speed is a clear asset, although his backpedal can get a bit high, slightly delaying his ability to drive and change direction. Despite this, his instincts are highly evident, as he often reacts to the quarterback's intentions quicker than others and tracks the ball in the air with ease. His height and arm length create an extensive pass-breakup radius, which is a critical strength in contested situations. While his press technique could improve, as he isn't as assertive as his size suggests, he has enough recovery ability to stay with receivers on intricate routes downfield. A linear athletic profile is evident, which limits some of the agility you'd expect, but his reasonable hip fluidity makes him effective near the boundary, particularly in zone coverage. He excels at handling vertical routes, using his instincts and length to close windows even when he isn’t in perfect position. Revel’s contributions in the run game are limited but dependable, with few missed tackles. There’s some rawness to his overall game, particularly in his footwork and twitch, which may not fit every team’s preference. However, his unique combination of size, speed and upside gives him plenty of developmental appeal as a boundary corner.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Will begin camp on PUP list
Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Saturday that Revel (knee) will begin training camp on the PUP list, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Revel was taken by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, though he could have been selected much sooner had it not been for a torn ACL injury that he suffered in November. Revel's chances of being active for Week 1 appear to be slim, but he should be cleared to play during the first half of the 2025 regular season.

Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Slide ends in Dallas
The Cowboys selected Revel (knee) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 76th overall.
If not for a torn ACL this fall, Revel could have heard his name called much earlier. He showed sticky coverage ability and playmaking ability while at East Carolina and checks in with good size for a corner (6-foot-1, 194 pounds). The torn ACL isn't the only injury on his record, so durability is a concern. The hope is that Revel will be ready to go by training camp, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, Dallas is getting a Top 50 talent at a discount.
