'We're cooking now': CeeDee Lamb taking flight as Cowboys' No. 1 receiver

FRISCO, Texas – When he was just dreaming of one day playing in the NFL, CeeDee Lamb was able to go to a Houston Texans game. He was a running back then, so Arian Foster was his favorite player, but receiver Andre Johnson caught his eye.

“His physicality,” the Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver said. “I liked his swagger.”

When Lamb moved to wide receiver, Johnson became one of his favorites. He took to YouTube to study what made Johnson -- a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame after catching 1,062 passes for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns -- great.
