Without a doubt, one of the youngest groups this Dallas Cowboys team has is guys in the tight end room.
CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens will be the focal point of the offense this season, but with the way that the running back room is looking, these tight ends on the roster are going to need to jump into elite status as a collective group.

After a Pro Bowl campaign in 2023 where Ferguson put up 761 yards and five touchdowns, he slid in his third season with just 494 yards and didn’t find the end zone once in 14 games. Injuries played a part in some of that, but all in all, Ferguson wasn’t the same player that the Cowboys saw in 2023.
Princeton Fant, Brevyn Spann-Ford and John Stephens Jr. are the next in line to see what they can give the team.
I really like Brevyn Spann-Ford. He is one heck of a blocker, so I would enjoy seeing more out of him this season with a young offensive line and another running back by committee.
Tyler Neville expected to join the #Cowboys tight ends room, adding another young prospect to an already youthful group led by Jake Ferguson. https://t.co/MdyrVuaRfU

Schoonmaker may have done just enough when given the opportunity to show the team he could be a reliable option when he needed to step up but as a former second-round pick will need to take a big step forward in his third season.
He is the biggest key for this team to get to the elite level in terms of tight end play.
You have a great blocker in Spann-Ford, now you need a two-headed monster to catch the ball in Ferg and Schoonmaker.
In Jake Ferguson’s absence, he started in six games, played in 17, and reeled in 27 receptions for 241 yards and his first career touchdown.
With a struggling running back room, but two elite wide outs, the tight end room should get plenty of chances to ball out, and if this offense wants to be one of the best in football, they need all these guys to take their game to the next level and become elite.
Let’s see how the summer goes, but it sounds like this offense has everyone they need, and don’t plan on adding anymore star power.
