When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, they gave him a choice of numbers: 10 or 88.
Lamb initially picked No. 10. But after speaking with Michael Irvin—one of the elite wideouts of the past to wear the number, along with Drew Pearson and Dez Bryant—he made the switch.
"We talked about the tradition and the respect I had for him and that number," he told 105.3 The Fan on Thursday (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk).
