A dangerous Dallas Cowboys offense is already in the works as training camp gets in full swing. Even after spending a couple of years working together, wideout Michael Gallup is still impressed with the wits of his running mate in Amari Cooper. The Colorado State product is also amazed by the capabilities of the 2020 first-round draft pick in CeeDee Lamb.
Dallas Morning News reporter Michael Gehlken tweeted Gallup's opinions on his teammates:
Cowboys WR Michael Gallup said if he could borrow any of Amari Cooper’s traits, it would be his “knowledge of the game. He’s a smart player.“ CeeDee Lamb? “I would definitely say his maturity level. …He just looks natural out there like he’s been here a couple years.”

Cooper may have already established his role in the Cowboys' offense but he began his career with the then Oakland Raiders. He went on to have a successful rookie and sophomore seasons that were capped by back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, a PFWA All-Rookie team selection, and two Pro Bowl appearances.
However, he struggled in his third season which led to him eventually landing in Dallas. A change in scenery did the trick as Cooper's career flourished once again and was eventually voted to his third and fourth Pro Bowl trips in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Gallup, on the other hand, was selected with the 81st pick in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was the ninth wide receiver drafted in 2018 but eventually exceeded expectations by way of his solid play for the Cowboys.
Both Cooper and Gallup are coming off a 1,000+ receiving yards tally in 2019. However, their individual numbers didn't translate to wins as the Cowboys still ended with a subpar 8-8 record. The team also failed to enter the playoff picture last season.
Joining the scoring party will be rookie CeeDee Lamb who will aim to become the third wideout to tally 1,000+ receiving yards for the Cowboys next season. However, winning games will be the utmost priority for the team as high expectations were already set for them in 2020.
