Dante Fowler Jr. is a professional American football defensive end currently playing for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League (NFL). Born on August 3, 1994, in St. Petersburg, Florida, he stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 261 pounds. Fowler played college football at the University of Florida and was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars as the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Over his career, Fowler has played for several NFL teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, Atlanta Falcons, and Washington Commanders. In the 2024 season with the Commanders, he led the team with 10.5 sacks.
However, he expressed dissatisfaction with his contract situation, hinting at a desire for a change.
On March 14, 2025, Fowler rejoined the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year, $8 million deal. This move came after the departure of fellow pass rusher Demarcus Lawrence in free agency.
Fowler’s return is expected to bolster the Cowboys’ defensive line, providing valuable experience and pass-rushing prowess.
