In 2018, Dak Prescott’s supporting cast in Dallas took a major hit when the Cowboys parted with Dez Bryant. Realizing the receiving corps was in desperate need of a playmaker, Dallas traded midseason with Oakland for Amari Cooper. The move worked out well, sparking the Cowboys offense, but a truly high-powered passing attack needs multiple threats.

While Cooper is the clear No. 1 wide receiver in Dallas, the Cowboys have added another former SEC wide receiver to improve the offense, Kentucky great Randall Cobb. (In addition to bringing back briefly retired Tennessee great Jason Witten.)

The former Packer has already made quite an impression on Prescott.

“That’s a very fortunate add there,” Prescott recently said of Cobb, per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “He’s been great, honestly. An ex-quarterback, knows the game up and down, knows every aspect of it; knows when he’s in the read what progression he is, and when you have a guy like that, he’s going to get open, he knows how to get open. He’s had a lot of success in this league already so just to have him be a part of this corps, a part of this team and this offense means a lot.

“We’ve had a fast connection. You take something, approach something, go out there and he does it right the first time. When you have a guy like that, it allows you to cut the ball loose, it allows you to anticipate. It allows you to trust he’s going to be in the right spot and he hasn’t failed in doing that. The moment he does and even sometimes he does it’s always a consistent feedback and we’re going to talk about it, what we could’ve done, what we should’ve done and, like I said, it serves you well.”

With defenses focusing on Cooper, Cobb could be in for a big season with the Cowboys.
