NAPA – Ryan Switzer got hurt early in his first professional training camp. A hamstring injury took him out of most preseason work, and stole valuable prep time required to meld with Dallas’ offense. The Cowboys’ 2017 fourth-round receiver was relegated to special teams work, with just six catches for 41 yards all season.
That wasn’t the NFL debut he hoped for. It certainly wasn’t vintage Switzer, a standard set during four excellent seasons at North Carolina. He used speed, smarts and elusiveness to collect 1,226 yards of total offense and six touchdowns as a senior with the Tar Heels.
