Position: Safety, #38 Weight/Height: 212 lbs, 6'1" Birthday: 5/14/91 Alma Mater: Saginaw Valley State Hometown: Lake Orion, Mich.Considered a long-shot to make the team after signing with Dallas as an undrafted free agent, Jeff Heath defied the odds by not only making the active roster out of training camp but playing in all 16 games and settling in as one of the team's starting safeties in 2013. Heath started his rookie campaign as a special teamer and reserve defensive back but finished the year with nine starts at strong safety. He was sixth on the squad with 60 tackles, tops with 13 special teams stops, and had a 50-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown, along with an interception, six breakups, one pressure and a forced fumble. He spent 2014 and 2015 as a reserve safety and special teams cover ace, finishing atop the special teams tackle chart in 2015 while also leading the defense with a career-high two interceptions. Heath mixed into the defensive back rotation in 2016, tallying 20 tackles while also playing on special teams. Hide
