Jul 26, 2025
Impressing early in camp
Liufau is looking faster than he did as a rookie last season during the early part of training camp, Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com reports. "That was a big thing that I wanted to work on this offseason, and also my conditioning," Liufau said this week. "Knowing [new defensive coordinator Matt] Eberflus' system, we're gonna be running a lot, and it emphasizes running through the ball, and so we got to be in the best shape to be able to dominate and play the kind of defense that we want."
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick in 2024, Liufau began last season bouncing between a depth role on defense and special teams, but by the final month of the campaign the Notre Dame product was not only starting, he was wearing the green dot for coordinator Mike Zimmer. Liufau recorded 24 tackles (12 solo) with two forced fumbles and a pass defended over his final four games of 2024, but in Eberflus' linebacker-friendly scheme, his production could skyrocket, especially with DeMarvion Overshown (knee) not expected to be ready until midseason.

Records 50 tackles in rookie year
Liufau finished the 2024 season with 50 tackles (30 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Selected in the third round, at No. 87 overall, of the 2024 NFL Draft, Liufau made nine starts as a rookie, playing 47 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps. Liufau took over every-down linebacker duties during the final four weeks of the season after DeMarvion Overshown suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee. With Overshown looking at a lengthy recovery and Eric Kendricks slated for free agency, Liufau should have a chance to be an every-down linebacker in 2025.
Dec 17, 2024
Forces fumble in start
Liufau recorded five tackles (two solo) including a forced fumble during Sunday's 30-14 win at Carolina.
ANALYSIS
Liufau punched the ball out of the arms of a diving Bryce Young during the Panthers' first drive of the game, keeping them off the scoreboard despite reaching the red zone. He figures to retain a near-every down role in Week 16 when Dallas hosts the Buccaneers.
Dec 10, 2024
Likely looking at increased snaps
Liufau figures to replace DeMarvion Overshown, who is undergoing surgery to repair a knee injury he sustained Monday versus the Bengals, as a starter for the remainder of the season, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After Overshown was forced out of Monday's game early by the gruesome injury, Liufau filled in admirably, and he recorded the first sack as a pro in Week 14. If he sees serious competition for playing time at inside linebacker next to Eric Kendricks during the rest of this year, it will likely come from 2022 fifth-rounder Damone Clark.
Nov 11, 2024
Solid game in relief
Liufau recorded five tackles (four solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
The outside linebacker replaced starter DeMarvion Overshown after the latter exited the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Overshown's injury is not believed to be serious, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. That could limit Liufau's playing time moving forward, as he has only played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps once this season.
