Draft season is in full swing. With every team having an allotted 30 pre-draft visitors to the team’s facility, it’s time to keep an eye on who is heading to meet with the Dallas Cowboys brain trust.
Under former head coach Jason Garrett, the visitors had been a key component in identifying who the Cowboys would consider drafting. With Mike McCarthy and almost a brand new coaching staff on board, it’s hard to say if that tradition will continue, but it’s worthwhile to follow along to see who the staff may be interested in come April.

Pittman comes in as the No. 10 ranked wide receiver on Dane Brugler’s pre-combine list. The senior came into his own in 2019, nearly doubling his production from his previous campaign, tallying 101 catches, 1275 yards and 11 touchdowns. From Brugler’s write-up:
With his large hands and powerful attack skills, Pittman makes plays over defenders and doesn’t fight the football, recording only two drops on 140 targets in 2019. He is an athletic route runner, but lacks dynamic start/stop burst to quickly create separation or be a consistent YAC threat.
