The 2016 season was to be a breakout one for Dallas Cowboys‘ return man and wide receiver, Lucky Whitehead. It certainly seemed that way 13 seconds into the first preseason game as he returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. However, as the season unfolded the Cowboys’ confidence in Whitehead waned.
The worst place for a player to be in is in their coach’s dog house. It’s usually signals frustration with a player due to poor performance or an off the field incident. In Whitehead’s case, it may have been both.
If you can go back to Dallas’ late season loss to the New York Giants, you might remember Whitehead not playing.
