It's been 27 years since Kyle Fuller Jersey Jerry Jones' hoisted a Vince Lombardi Trophy. Jones, based on the Cowboys' pre-draft plans, is hell-bent on making sure that his team's title drought doesn't reach 28 years.After yet another disappointing ending to a once promising season, it appears that the Cowboys are going on the offensive, literally. The Cowboys, owners of the 26th overall pick, have met with several top receiver prospects who include Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Josh Downs, Quentin Johnston, Zay Flowers and Jalin Hyatt.While each one has their strengths and weakne ses, Smith-Njigba is the most interesting of the wideouts. He spent the first half of his college career in the shadow of future first-round picks and . He took full advantage of his opportunity to play when Wilson and Olave opted out Chicago Bears Jersey of Ohio State's showdown with Utah in the 2022 Rose Bowl.
