At 6'7", if he maximizes his frame in the passing game, Dallas might extend him during training camp to secure him long-term.

Standing 6-foot-7, he presents matchup problems near the goal line. The source suggests Dallas should expand his role as a receiver to create mismatches in the passing game, leveraging his size and reliable hands to improve efficiency inside the 20. Red-zone training camp work could be the perfect opportunity to make that statement.PositiveRoleJul 26, 2026
