Did Cowboys uncover game-changing UDFA out the Big 12?

The Dallas Cowboys spent this past weekend getting the new draft class acclimated to the team. The majority of draft additions were on the defensive side of the field, but somewhat buried withn this group is an undrafted free agent who has quickly become a fan favorite; former Baylor Bears tight end Michael Trigg. Trigg has been on fans' watch list since a clip of him working with Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells at Baylor's Pro Day surfaced in March.

While many experts projected him as a fourth or fifth-round talent, he went undrafted. The pre-draft hype has still led to high expectations upon his arrival in Dallas. The hype was further validated during a recent press conference with Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

When asked about players who stood out during the pseudo practices, Schottenheimer specifically highlighted Trigg’s athleticism and impact. “We’ve all seen the highlight reel catches and things that he did at Baylor; it’s impressive," Schottenheimer said. "You talk about a guy that can stretch the field vertically and make game-changing ‘wow’ type plays attacking the middle of the field.

” This professional endorsement aligns perfectly with the film, where those exact traits, the primary reason fans fell in love with his game, are on full display. Michael Trigg Pro Day measurements Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 240 pounds Arm length: 34 1/4" Vertical jump- 27. 5.
