The national media will always have a lot to say about the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have been in the news since their season ended in January, and this offseason was no exception.
Despite their lack of postseason success, the Cowboys have high expectations going into the 2024 campaign.
Although it was untrue, Jerry Jones declared boldly that the team will go “all-in” over the summer.
The big-time extensions that Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons crave have still not been granted by the Dallas Cowboys.
Lamb consequently missed out on required minicamp and OTAs. Still, his absence gave other playwrights greater chances. A guy that is benefiting from experience is Brandin Cooks, but two rookie receivers also had full advantage.
Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks were the two players listed for the Cowboys. ESPN’s Todd Archer saw these two during practice and thought they were exceptional. If you’re a Cowboys fan, that’s exactly what you would want to see and hear.
Tolbert will be relied upon this season as he enters his third year. He was a smooth athlete when he entered the league, able to use his size and speed to extend the field. Although it hasn’t shown up in the league yet, he has all the resources required to move further.
With more opportunities to practice, Tolbert is demonstrating his adaptability and influence on the field.
Jalen Brooks was chosen in the seventh round of the NFL Draft in 2023. As a rookie last season, he only managed six receptions for 64 yards in seven games. He obviously honed his talents during the offseason and is hoping to make a big leap in 2024.
Brooks, who is 6’2″, has good size and uses his body to make those well-defended receptions.
The preseason and training camp will be the next step in maintaining this trajectory, but these practice reps might be useful in the regular season.
Although Lamb is Dallas’s undisputed top wide receiver, the offense will only get better if these guys advance.
