“A Minimum of a 1600 Yard Season”: Former Cowboys Superstar Michael Irvin Makes it Loud And Clear What Dallas’ New WR1 Has On Mandate

The Dallas Cowboys team’s offense is a strong unit in the NFL because of their teamwork and game plan. However, the Mike McCarthy-coached side faces a fresh challenge in the new season. They lost four of their top players this year due to injuries. Their WR corps Amari Cooper, Cedrick Wilson, Michael Gallup and James Washington are all missing from the starting lineup. As a result, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and his performance are crucial for the team to progress in the league.

The 23-year-old youngster will have to play a more prominent role in the NFL, which starts on September 11. Talking about Lamb, former Cowboys superstar Michael Irvin said the new WR1 has a greater responsibility this season. 

CeeDee Lamb has a bigger role

Michael Irvin, now a sports commentator said, Lamb needs to cover a minimum of 1600 yard season to guide the Dallas side home. His words are of more relevance, as Lamb will need to motivate and push the team in the absence of his senior counterparts. 

 Meanwhile, the talks surrounding the Cowboys’ offense hog the limelight ahead of the new season. In fact, most of the opposition teams admit that the Cowboys are a challenging force to deal with while playing. The game statistics also prove the same as Dallas had an impressive outing last season, where they scored over 500 points. 

Impressive show for Dallas Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb, who is rising above the ranks, has already collected 153 receptions, 2037 yards, and 11 touchdowns with an average of 13.3 per reception. His notable performance is a promising sight for the Cowboys side to consider Lamb as the one to look forward to in the future. 

The WR joined Dallas in the 2020 season. The then 21-year-old made his mark in the first season itself with a set of game-changing performances.

He will have a point to prove, and it is not an easy walk, after winning the trust of seasoned veterans such as Michael Irvin. However, relying on game experience and a positive attitude, he will look to cement his number one position and guide his side to a stunning win as an exciting season awaits kickoff.
