The Dallas Cowboys premiered a new documentary series centered around former Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on Wednesday.
The Cowboys’ 2020 first round draft pick is one of the most anticipated rookies in the league heading into this season, making flashy plays in practice and garnering praise from teammates, and former players alike.
On top of that, Lamb is set to don No. 88 for the Cowboys, a highly-revered number within the franchise. Former 88’s include Cowboys legends Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant. Lamb’s jersey is already one of the highest-selling in the league.
Now, Dallas is now givings its fans a look into the background of the player that’s been called one of the best picks in the draft.

The first part of the series focuses largely on Lamb’s early football career and family history, moving from Louisiana to Houston, TX. following Hurrican Katrina in 2005.
It also focuses on Lamb’s relationship with his late uncle, Chester Ramirez, Jr. Ramirez is the reason Lamb wears a necklace with a No. 32 pendant. That was Ramirez’ number when he played football.
It features interviews from both Lamb and his mother, Leta Ramirez.
Lamb has also been making headlines this week for a number of head-turning performances out of Dallas’ preseason practices, such as this catch.
CeeDee Lamb sure is special.
