The Dallas Cowboys received a gift on draft day when former Oklahoma Sooners standout wide receiver CeeDee Lamb fell into their hands at No. 17 overall.
Dallas is already shelling out big money to Amari Cooper and has the dangerous Michael Gallup at receiver, but adding Lamb's talent to their potentially high-powered offense was understandably irresistible to Jerry and Stephen Jones.
In training camp, Lamb has reportedly looked more like a Pro Bowler than a rookie, per Stephen Jones. During an appearance on KLDR-FM, the Cowboys CEO was asked whether Lamb looks like a first-year pro thus far.
“No. Not at all,” Jones said. “I think he's exceeded all expectations. He's got…rare football IQ. I think it comes natural to him whether it's his route-running and his feel for the game, whether it's catching the ball, whether it's his ability to accelerate after the catch. Everything just seems to click with him, and I know his teammates have certainly enjoyed him. He's super, super competitive, works super hard. You just can't say enough nice things about him.”
Jones added that Lamb could also make contributions beyond the team's passing attack.
“He's going to make a big, big difference in our offensive football team, and for that matter, even in special teams,” said Jones. “It's not going to surprise me to see him back there potentially helping in the return game as well.”
