Our most exciting player so far?

[Jarv]

I'm gonna go with Turpin

Turpin, Hunter and Jalen on offense, just picking the new guys.

Would have to be yours truly #13 Overshown. He's making a name for himself, it's too early to anoint him, but I speak for everyone when I say he's given us something to be happy about. Please give your thoughts on your most exciting player thus far. #2 Might be Kendricks for me, if we didn't have him, we wouldn't have that physical tackling LB on this defense. Is the defense great, no,but he's been another person that's stood out for me

, the fullback on offense

I'm not trying to be a Dak homer. Just going by statistics and results on the field...

The most exciting player so far after 5 games in 2024, I would have to say is Dak.

With a young halfway rebuilt Oline that is struggling some to gel, no running attack for 4 out of the 5 first games, only 1 legit weapon at WR and a halfway suspect defense half of the time, Dak has literally carried the offense for all 3 wins during this 3-2 record so far with almost a comeback win during 1 of those 2 losses. Yes, Dak has committed some bone-headed costly mistakes, but he has literally carried this offense. Dak is 2nd overall in 2024 throughout the NFL in passing yards (1,424) and his offense is 3rd overall in passing yards average/game (284.8). Surprising with such limitations on offense and defense.

Dak is on pace to throw for 4,800+ yards this season, and he's also on pace to become the Dallas Cowboys franchise passing leader by the end of this 2024 season. Dak only needs 8 more games to surpass Troy Aikman as the 2nd highest franchise passing leader and the remaining 12 games to surpass Tony Romo as the Dallas Cowboys franchise passing yards leader. Amazing considering the lack of talent/weapons currently on this team.

It is exciting to have a good qb. It should pay dividends as the season goes on.

Overshown and our fullback. Both are playing at a higher level then expected. Hunter is our best short yardage back. He sees the hole and he has power. He is probably the second best fullback in the nfl.

 

[cowboyec]

dak.
its never dull.
never.

but overshown is gonna be a good'n around the ranch for a long,long time.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Aubrey. Top scorer, sure-footed.

 

[plasticman]

Keeping it to just one, I gotta go with Aubrey.

I can't wait for him to try a 70 yarder. it's coming.

 

[diamonddelts]

The leg.

 

[starfan1]

I mean Aubrey and Overshown stands out but I also like Luepke.

 

[75boyz]

Mine is Ferguson. It's like you can see him becoming a close to elite receiving tight end if he's not there already.
I like his outward display of fire and passion for the game too.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Overshown has been delightful to watch.

I have been eating crow every day since camp when I called him a soft, UT-Austin player.
But the good lad has exceeded all my expectations and more and is working on become our best defender.
Overshown's motor is always running. He does not take any plays off. What a good lad!

Excitement has been super limited tbh despite 3-2. I'd say Tolbert's progression is the only thing that stands out as excitement.

Overshown has had moments.

And

It's fun when Luepke gets loose 1x per contest. That's about it.

Overshown I'd the name that immediately comes to mind. Dude just flies to the ball violently, with no fear or hesitation. Needs another year or two in the weight room, but he's already a difference maker, and has lots of room to improve.

Honorable mention: Tolbert. He's getting better each week and has a ridiculous ceiling. It'll be a bunch of fun watching him progress.

Mr MVP... Brandon Aubrey.

 

[5Stars]

Who jumped on a football? Saved the whole season.

 

[RonWashington]

Hunter Leupke has been outstanding . I’m the first to admit I was wrong about him.

 

[Redline360]

Ferg

Dude just has that drive in him. Going to be one of the top TEs in the league in the next couple years imo
