This is not surprising. I cannot recall a larger amount of hype over a draft pick of the Cowboys pretty much ever.

RW31 was perhaps the closest. Newman certainly wasn't hyped like that. Emmitt was unexpected and drafted during the period where Jones and Johnson were still considered idiots. I don't remember Irvin and Aikman being drafted. Dorsett maybe?

Dorsett was probably it. Aikman was drafted when the Cowboys were god-awful but there was a lot of excitement. Dez was a hyped pick too. But the way the crowd erupted (on NFL network) when Zeke was announced as our pick was one for the ages.

The hype machine is far larger than it was 20 years ago, so it's nearly impossible to compare. Hype feeds off itself, so social media and the internet in general just makes it a completely different situation.The closest one would have to be Mo, since we was the next coming of Deion Sanders and the clear cut best defensive player in the draft. That hasn't quite worked out like that though.

Yeah but Dez had enough negatives where it seemed to mitigate the hype quite a bit.

Only a matter of time before Zeke becomes the face of this team. Romo is entering his twilight, Zeke represents the future.
