CeeDee Lamb Urges Second-Year Offensive Tackle After He Oversleeps Day 6 of Training Camp
Training Camp is all about discipline. Every snap, every rep, every meeting matters—especially when you're fighting for a spot on one of the NFL's most-watched teams.
But on Day 6 of Cowboys camp, that discipline was briefly tested when one second-year lineman failed to show up for the team’s early-morning walkthrough.
He wasn’t ignoring his responsibilities. According to teammates, the young offensive tackle had pushed himself to the limit the previous day during back-to-back padded sessions and simply crashed too hard. But excuses don’t fly in Oxnard.
That’s when Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb took matters into his own hands.
“Get your damn body out of bed. We’ve been up since dawn sweating it out in practice, and you’re just lying here resting?. Be a f*cking professional.”**
No alarms were louder than Lamb’s voice cutting through the hallway as he stormed into the dorms. Players say it wasn’t personal—it was leadership. And it worked.
Nathan Thomas, the lineman in question, immediately dressed, rushed down to the field, and later stood up in front of the team to apologize for the slip-up. There were no formal punishments. Coaches acknowledged the exhaustion, but also the accountability that followed.
Team sources confirmed the story to ESPN, noting it was a brief moment that spoke volumes. Thomas has since returned to the field with a noticeable fire, earning praise from veterans during full-contact drills.
In Dallas, there’s no room for snooze buttons. And with guys like CeeDee in the locker room, there’s no hiding either.
