Stephen Jones praises Dallas Cowboys' latest breakout young star

Stephen Jones is absolutely thrilled with the emergence of second-year wide receiver Ryan Flournoy, the latest breakout star for the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys' Stephen Jones on postseason: 'We're not gonna be at peace until we  get over that hump'

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan on Monday, the Cowboys’ Executive Vice President didn’t hold back his praise for the former sixth-round pick:

“He’s obviously a long, physical player. He made his mark starting on special teams and played really well there. Now he’s getting the job done on offense too. We’ve always liked him — he was making plays in training camp, especially in the red zone. Now he’s clearly developing into a really solid NFL receiver.”

Flournoy Steps Up When It Matters Most

The young receiver delivered his best professional performance yet in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions, posting:

  • 9 receptions
  • 115 receiving yards
  • 1 touchdown

It marked the second 100-yard game of his young career (previously 114 yards in Week 6 vs. Carolina). Through 14 weeks, Flournoy now has: 29 catches · 349 yards - 3 touchdowns

Both of his 100-yard outings came when superstar CeeDee Lamb was either sidelined or forced out early due to injury (ankle sprain earlier, concussion vs. Detroit). With George Pickens and Lamb commanding most of the defensive attention, Flournoyrnoy has quietly become a highly reliable WR3 — and sometimes WR1 — in one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses.

From Pick No. 216 to Legit NFL Weapon

Flournoy’s road to the league was anything but conventional. He played at three different colleges (Yale, Central Missouri, Southeast Missouri State) before hearing his name called at pick 216 in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Just 20 months later, the late-round gem has gone from special teams contributor to a key piece of the Cowboys’ passing attack.

Final Thoughts

With elite size, outstanding contested-catch ability, and growing confidence, Dallas, another late-round wide receiver hit looks like they’ve struck gold once again. If Flournoy keeps progressing at this rate, the Cowboys could soon boast one of the scariest receiver trios in football: CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and the rising Ryan Flournoy.

Cowboys Nation has every reason to be excited about the future at wideout — even when Lamb needs a game (or a few plays) off.

Panthers Cheerleader Sues a Panthers Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A beautiful, talented cheerleader from the Carolina Panthers is "furious" and dragging a team player to court for "unacceptable" actions! Grace Kramer – the TopCats icon – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the story behind it is making NFL fans "boil with rage"! Could this be the "scandal of the century" for the Panthers? Read now for the "steamy" details! Grace Kramer, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Carolina Panthers in the NFL, is a prominent member of the TopCats group. She is a former student at Clemson University, where she participated in the Rally Cats cheer squad. Before that, Grace was a dancer for the NBA and holds a consulting degree from Wake Forest University (WFU). Grace is active on social media, often sharing about games, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Panthers. As part of the 25-member TopCats team, Grace engages in fan interactions, community events, and performances at Panthers games. She has an Instagram account (@grace_kramer37) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@gracekramer_) where she shares videos about game days. Before joining the Panthers, she worked at Darden (related to the restaurant or service industry), proving her versatility and hard work. But the "nightmare" began when Grace got "entangled" with a Panthers player! That's Jake Harlan, a backup offensive tackle who rarely plays for the Panthers – a guy who's practically "unknown" to fans, only appearing sporadically on special teams and never a star. Harlan, 28 years old, has been married since 2022 to his wife, an elementary school teacher, and they have a 2-year-old son. Yet, according to Grace's lawsuit, Harlan has been "flirting" with her blatantly, despite his marital status! The "explosion" happened when Harlan started sending "sweet" messages to Grace via Instagram, complimenting her beauty and talent after performances. At first, Grace thought it was just casual praise from a teammate, but things quickly "escalated" into harassment! Harlan called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 2-3 a.m. – to "confide" about his personal life, invite her for private coffee dates, and even send "suggestive" photos of himself! Grace stated in the lawsuit: "He knows full well I just want to focus on my work and career, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls scare me and cause insomnia, seriously affecting my mental health!" According to insider sources, Harlan has been "stalking" Grace since the start of the season, frequently showing up at community events she attends, and deliberately "creating opportunities" to approach her. Harlan's wife, upon discovering, was "furious" and even threatened divorce, but the guy still "didn't wake up"! The Panthers are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily suspended Harlan for investigation, while fans are divided – one side supports Grace's "strong condemnation," the other suspects it's a "PR stunt." The NFL league is also monitoring closely, which could lead to heavy fines or a playing ban! Grace, with her "goddess" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a hot-button issue in the sports world! How will the court handle Harlan? And will the Panthers "clean house" to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
