The Dallas Cowboys Are Linked To An Electric Wide Receiver: Unless Jalen Tolbert has a breakout season, the team will desperately need a quality second playmaker to complement CeeDee Lamb.
Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka is similar to Lamb in that he wins all over the field and in different roles, so the two can coexist and thrive together.
Egbuka’s well-roundedness will help him contribute better on Day 1 than most in this class. Lamb is essential to the Cowboys’ passing attack, but another weapon could be on the way.
This is Pro Football Network’s strengths on Egbuka:
WR constructed uniquely, with a substantial solidity and a lean, compact, yet long-limbed body.
Explosive long-strider with the ability to surge downfield with large, urgent strides.
Gives stems rapid acceleration, which he may utilize to stack misplaced DBs with ease.
Possesses the flexibility to bend and accelerate into space while keeping stride lengths constant.
High-end direction change allows for unrestricted swiveling and stacking of lateral transitions.
Master zone navigator with throttle freedom, hip sink, and anticipatory feel for spacing. Elite separation potential is produced when burst, flexibility,
Eeception, snap, and IQ are combined. Will take advantage of overaggression by controlling leans to dictate DB angles upfield.
possesses an extensive route tree already, and frequently uses manipulation and head fakes on purpose.
Has demonstrated his ability to quickly adapt to high-difficulty catch-point modifications.
Hands-catcher with a fair amount of consistency and technique and timing flashes.
Able to scrape past contact over the midfield with arm-bars and swipes.
Dynamic run-after-catch weapon with agility, velocity, and adaptability in alignment.
Possesses the searing play strength to wriggle out of solitary tackles and move quickly upfield.
Competent run blocker who benefits from his size, quickness, and adaptability.
When and how Dallas attempts to improve their wide receiving corps will be interesting to watch.
