Brian Schottenheimer Growing Frustrated With Second-Round Pick TE’s Work Ethic at Cowboys Camp
As the Cowboys dive deeper into Training Camp, position battles have taken center stage. Some players are rising. Others are fading. And one name—quietly—has coaches talking for the wrong reasons.
It’s not about dropped passes or missed blocks. It’s about what’s missing between the whistles: urgency, focus, effort. According to team insiders, this tight end hasn’t stood out in drills and has barely participated in full-speed reps. The concern isn’t injury—it’s intensity.
Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer didn’t sugarcoat things:
“This is the NFL, not a country club. If you’re coasting through camp, you won’t be here when it ends. We need grinders, not guys waiting for handouts.”
And while the coaching staff won’t name names publicly, everyone knows who’s in the spotlight.
Luke Schoonmaker, now entering his second year, was once seen as a future TE1. But the gap between potential and production is widening. Sources say he’s being outworked in practice by teammates who came in with less hype but more hunger.
The Cowboys aren’t giving up on Schoonmaker—but they are running out of excuses. With every missed rep and quiet session, his role slips further away. In Dallas, you earn your star. And right now, he’s still chasing it.
