Frisco, TX – April 19, 2025
The writing’s on the wall.
And if mock drafts across ESPN, CBS, and The Athletic are anything to go by, the Dallas Cowboys are ready to bring the burn back to their offense — Texas style.
With the No. 24 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cowboys are expected to select Xavier Worthy, the blazing-fast wide receiver from the University of Texas.
🔥 Why Worthy Makes Too Much Sense
-
Brandin Cooks is aging.
-
There’s no clear WR2 behind superstar CeeDee Lamb.
-
Tony Pollard’s departure left a hole in offensive explosiveness.
Now enter Worthy — the 4.29-speed demon who broke the NFL Combine 40-yard record.
A deep-threat machine with elite route-running and kick return ability.
“Pairing him with CeeDee? That’s Texas fireworks every Sunday,” one NFC scout said.
💡 Scheme Fit: McCarthy’s Dream
Mike McCarthy loves spacing, motion, and vertical threats.
-
Worthy can stretch the field on the outside
-
Or work from the slot in 3-WR sets
-
He opens up everything underneath for Lamb, Ferguson, and the run game
This isn’t just about filling a need — it’s about unlocking a new gear in Dallas’ playbook.
📊 Worthy by the Numbers (Texas, 2022–2024):
-
2,755 receiving yards
-
26 total TDs
-
All-Big 12 First Team
-
Combine: 4.29 40-yard, 41″ vertical
🧠 What This Means for Cowboys Fans
This would be the first time Dallas drafts a Texas Longhorn in Round 1 since 2006.
But more than that — it sends a message:
The Cowboys aren’t rebuilding.
They’re reloading — with heat, speed, and homegrown pride.
🚨 WR Duo Alert: Worthy x CeeDee = Texas Heat
Two WRs. One state.
All gas. No breaks.
