McCarthy has high praise for the third-year receiver.
When Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb was somehow available at No. 17 overall, the Dallas Cowboys collectively grinned wide and jumped at the chance to select the wideout.
However, the Cowboys also had plenty of enthusiasm for current Minnesota Vikings star wideout Justin Jefferson, Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday. Thus, McCarthy is hardly stunned by the astounding play from Jefferson, the No. 22 overall pick in 2020.
“CeeDee was my favorite of the group, and he was right there,” McCarthy told reporters ahead of the Cowboys’ Week 11 road game against the Vikings.
