Former Texas Longhorns receiver Jordan Whittington showed off in his NFL preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys.
beat the Dallas Cowboys 13-12 in the preseason opener for both teams at SoFi Stadium on Saturday night, as Whittington led all receivers with six receptions for 74 yards, which was highlighted by some impressive catches.
Whittington, a sixth-round pick this past April, produced at a high level despite four interceptions from Rams quarterback and former Georgia star Stetson Bennett. However, the one-time Heisman Trophy finalist came through when it mattered most, finding tight end Miller Forristall for a six-yard, go-ahead touchdown with four seconds left on 4th and goal to stun Dallas and steal the win.
Whittington came out with a bang on L.A.'s first drive, catching a 13-yard pass on the second play of the game before having a 30-yard catch-and-run a few snaps later. On the Rams' third possession, Whittington added three more catches, one of which was arguably the play of the afternoon aside from the game-winning touchdown.
