The year was 2020. The Dallas Cowboys had just signed Amari Cooper to a new contract extension after previously using a first-round draft pick to acquire him in a trade a couple of years prior. The Cowboys weren’t looking for a new wide receiver, but the draft gods delivered them a golden opportunity when CeeDee Lamb was passed over not once, but twice by two teams who opted to select a different wide receiver. Just like that, Lamb was a member of the Cowboys.
Michael Irvin said CeeDee Lamb was the top WR on the Cowboys’ draft board.
