Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson was a star in his sophomore season, becoming one of Dak Prescott's favorite targets. Heading into his third NFL season, Ferguson has just scratched the surface of what he can accomplish.
Ferguson had a breakout year in 2023, finishing with 71 receptions, 761 yards, and five touchdowns, earning him a Pro Bowl nod. Ferguson will not be complacent and will look to build onWith the loss of Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys were without a bully on the offensive end. Ferguson became the Cowboys' enforcer, often fighting for tough yards and first downs.
He has become a nightmare for defensive backs. If they tackle low, he will hurdle them. If not, he runs right through them. Even with Elliott returning to Big D this season, we should expect to see Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense feed their new, physical target.Ferguson provides some much-needed physicality and fire to the Cowboys offense that they have lacked since Dez Bryant.
After gaining Prescott's trust, Ferguson's numbers are bound to improve next season. If he were to post a 1,000-yard season, he would be the first to do it for the Cowboys since Witten in 2012. For the Cowboys, with every great quarterback, there has always been a stud at tight end who serves as the security blanket for their quarterbacks. Staubach had Billy Joe Dupree, Aikman had Jay Novacek, Romo had Jason Witten, and now Prescott has Jake Ferguson.
