Former Oklahoma wideout CeeDee Lamb appears to be settling in nicely with his new team. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott spoke very highly of his newest receiver on Wednesday.
“Yeah, great guy, great athlete, great player,” he said. “Excited for his future, excited for now, excited for everything that he can bring this offense in many, many years to come. He’s very smart. He’s very talented, as I said, and he wants to learn.”

And Prescott is not the only one speaking out on Lamb’s behalf. Cowboys Legend Michael Irvin took to NFL Network on Tuesday and emphasized just how important Lamb can be to an already stellar Cowboys offense.
“What [the front office] did by adding CeeDee Lamb is akin to Kevin Durant being added to a 73-9 Warriors team,” Irvin said.
The Cowboys offense finished first in the NFL in yards per play last season (6.5). With Lamb now in the fold, there’s potential for a historically potent offensive unit.
For reference, the 2018 Chiefs clocked in at 6.8 yards per play, the highest mark of the decade.

In his last season in Norman, Lamb racked up 1327 yards and 14 touchdowns on 62 catches for a mind-boggling 21.4 yards per attempt. He also finished as a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.
