With the Dallas Cowboys entering the 2024 season with several departures in free agency, there is plenty of opportunity for younger players to make a big statement. Here are three players who should be viewed as breakout candidates for the upcoming NFL season.
WR Jalen Tolbert
The most obvious breakout candidate is third-year wide receiver Jalen Tolbert. After the team moved on from veteran WR Michael Gallup this offseason, the Cowboys have an open competition for the team’s WR3. While Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy will both be competing for the role, it feels likely that Tolbert will be the team’s WR3 week one if they do not sign someone in free agency.
