Cowboys’ Bahamian Defensive Lineman Says Dallas Feels Like a Second Home

Not every NFL journey begins in Texas. But for one defensive lineman, it’s where his heart now feels anchored.
Coming from thousands of miles away, adjusting to the speed, culture, and spotlight of America’s Team could’ve been overwhelming. Yet something about Dallas made the transition feel natural—from the locker room energy to the support from fans who embraced him without hesitation.
“It didn’t take long,” he said.
“From the moment I got here, people treated me like family. I didn’t grow up here, but this city… it feels like home.”
Coaches have praised his work ethic and adaptability, noting how quickly he integrated into the defensive line rotation. Teammates say he’s brought not only strength to the trenches but a quiet steadiness to the locker room.
And for someone who came from another world—both geographically and culturally—the connection to the city has been deeper than expected.
“There’s something about Dallas,” he added.
“It reminds me of back home—the pride, the passion, the way people care. It’s my second home now.”
He may represent the Bahamas on paper, but when he straps on that silver helmet, he carries Dallas in his spirit.
That lineman? Denzel Daxon.
And Cowboys Nation might just be the second family he never knew he needed.
