When he was originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said he wanted to wear the No. 10 for the team.
With former Cowboys player Tavon Austin hitting free agency, and the team not showing interest in signing him back, the number would have been available for Lamb to wear. However, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had other plans, saying he would like Lamb to wear No. 88.
88 is an iconic number in Dallas Cowboys history. Great former Cowboys wide receivers Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, and Dez Bryant all wore the number throughout their illustrious careers wearing the star.
