Dak Prescott Praises Rookie WR at Camp, Says “He’s the Next CeeDee Lamb”

It doesn’t happen often. But when it does, it turns heads.

Quarterback Dak Prescott had barely finished a route timing drill at Training Camp when he turned to reporters and said something that immediately made waves inside the Cowboys facility.

“He’s different,” Dak said. “The way he moves, the way he attacks the ball—it reminds me of someone I threw to a few years back. Feels like I’m watching CeeDee all over again.”

That kind of praise doesn’t come lightly, especially from the Cowboys’ franchise quarterback. Throughout camp, the rookie receiver has drawn attention with his burst off the line, clean footwork, and a surprising knack for making contested grabs look routine.

Prescott wasn’t done.

“He understands spacing. He listens. And he competes like he’s already earned a spot, even though he hasn’t yet. That’s what makes the great ones stand out early. That’s what CeeDee had—and this kid’s got it too.”

Coaches on the sideline nodded in agreement. Even veteran defenders have admitted the rookie is earning more attention than they expected this early.

One cornerback reportedly told his position coach, “We better start taking him seriously before he starts torching everybody.”

As Day 4 of camp wrapped, whispers grew louder: did Dallas quietly land another WR gem?

Prescott certainly thinks so. And when your QB starts calling out rookie receivers by name, that’s not hype—it’s trust.

The rookie drawing all the praise? Josh Kelly. And if what Dak’s seeing is real, Cowboys Nation may be watching the next star take flight.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
