Training camp week is upon us. We all should see some shifting in the roster over the next few weeks, but who are some players that need to make some noise and possibly earn themselves not only a roster spot but maybe some significant playing time?
Noah Brown is the first player on my radar. His future is a bit up in the air as we speak. Only appearing in 50 games over the last five years, Brown has 39 catches on 66 targets to hit credit.
Brown is more known as a blocker, and this game is about trust. Can he gain Dak Prescott’s in camp, and maybe we see him play himself into some heavy run packages. Types of which Dallas comes out run heavy with two TEs, and he could leak out to run a route. Time will tell, but keep an eye on Brown this training camp.
The Backup tight end battle is open. I am going to add Sean McKeon and Jake Ferguson. Right now, in my opinion, one of them leaves camp with the TE2 spot.
Let’s see these two battle it out. Some people, including myself, are getting caught up with Ferguson and forgot about McKeon. He only caught four balls for 27 yards and a touchdown last season, only appearing in nine games.
Dallas did draft Ferguson for a reason though, and I’m a big fan. During four seasons as a Badger, he caught 145 passes for 1,618 yards and 13 touchdowns in his college career.
One more name, if he is ready for camp, ill be watching is Jabril Cox. He says he feels good to go, but Dallas has bigger plans for him next year and in the future. The Cowboys may take a more conservative approach and ease him back. He could bring amazing value to the defense. We should know very soon.
There are plenty of other players fans will be watching for, including myself, like the depth at different positions and how those shake out, but those are just a few I’m excited to see create value for themselves. I am ready for some Cowboys football.
