No pressure, kid: Cowboys give iconic No. 88 jersey to new rookie WR CeeDee Lamb

CeeDee Lamb wanted to wear No. 10. Jerry Jones wanted his new rookie receiver to wear No. 88.

Jones signs the checks, and it looks like Lamb will wear No. 88.

Lamb, the exciting rookie first-round pick from Oklahoma, will seemingly follow in a long line of great Dallas Cowboys receivers to wear No. 88. Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant all wore the number. It’s as close as the NFL has to some of the legacy numbers in college that get handed down to special players, like No. 18 at LSU.
