Mike McCarthy views Luke Schoonmaker as ‘starter-type’ TE for Cowboys

Former Michigan tight end Luke Schoonmaker was drafted in Round 2 of the NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas invested an early-round pick in Schoonmaker, and they expect him to see the field plenty as a rookie.

“In a 17-game season, all of these guys in the tight end room are going to contribute,” head coach Mike McCarthy said. “I would definitely view him as a starter-type as far as his impact. He will clearly play all four positions in the tight end area: on the line, off the ball, weak back and displaced.
