From the article

If you're going to be a third-down back in the NFL you need two things: pass-catching ability and pass protection ability... he also has some experience protecting his quarterback. He logged 47 snaps in pass-protection in 2023, 30 snaps in that role in 2024, and 27 snaps in 2025... What is compelling is that the Cowboys think he can block in pass protection better than Blue or Phil Mafah.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Demarcado positioned as Cowboys' third-down back with pass-catching and pass-protection skills.

Cowboys acquired Demarcado off waivers to fill a third-down back role. He has demonstrated pass-catching ability (6.5 yards per reception average over three years) and pass-protection competency, logging 47 snaps in 2023, 30 in 2024, and 27 in 2025 while yielding just eight pressures on 104 total pass-blocking snaps. Cowboys OC Klayton Adams believes Demarcado can block in pass protection better than Jaydon Blue or Phil Mafah, positioning him as a change-of-pace back with third-down upside.
