The Dallas Cowboys made a significant swing at the start of May when the team traded for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens.
Dallas needed to find another receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb, and Pickens should be able to fill the role.
However, the Cowboys could have an up-and-coming receiving option, and according to Brent Sobleski from Bleacher Report, undrafted free-agent wide receiver Josh Kelly is the Cowboys’ most exciting undrafted free agent.
“The Dallas Cowboys already took some pressure off of top wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with the acquisition of George Pickens in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Soblesji wrote. “And the team wouldn’t be upset with an undrafted rookie making the squad and helping out as well. Dallas now has a solid quartet in place with Lamb, Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin. From there, mostly young players will be battling for the fifth and sixth spots on the roster. Josh Kelly posted significant numbers during his final two collegiate seasons between the Washington State Cougars and Texas Tech Red Raiders. The wide receiver caught 150 passes for 1,946 yards and 13 touchdowns between those two stops. He does lack top-end speed and suddenness. However, Kelly can still be an effective target when working off the line of scrimmage, running sharp routes in the underneath to intermediate ranges and playing through contact.”
In six college seasons, Kelly recorded 3,251 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns in 51 games.
