At this time a year ago, the only thing on the minds of every single Dallas Cowboys fan was how great CeeDee Lamb was going to be in the team’s offense. It remains unbelievable that the Cowboys landed Lamb with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and a lot of the way that he played last season justifies that disbelief. Ultimately it feels like a matter of time before Lamb establishes himself as the alpha among the team’s receivers.
Looking back on Lamb’s rookie season requires some context. He has yet to play five full games with a top quarterback as Dak Prescott was lost for the season in Week 5, and trying to figure out life in the NFL with a revolving door of quarterbacks throwing to you certainly can’t be easy work.
