07_05_rolecall

(Editor's Note: As part of the preparation for training camp, this series will introduce 25 players who are new to the Cowboys' roster, rookies and veterans alike. We continue with Ryan Flournoy.)

How He Got Here: His journey to the role of Cowboys' receiver is one filled with challenges that he's overcome, working his way up from Central Missouri and then a stint with Iowa Western Community College to earning conference honors in his first season with Southeast Missouri State 鈥 where he started in 11 games and led the entire team with 984 receiving yards, receiving touchdowns (7) and receiving yards per game (89.5) (again, in his first year with that program).

His 4.44 second 40-yard dash only further illustrates the point regarding his athleticism, as does his 39 陆" vertical (89th percentile), 132" broad jump (94th percentile); and his 19 bench reps (83rd percentile) indicate he's not only fast and quick, but packs some serious strength in his 6-foot-1, 202 lb. frame. Flournoy absolutely destroyed the NFL Combine tests.

What's Next: When the Cowboys went on the clock in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, they were still without a rookie talent to challenge the depth chart at wide receiver. Flournoy is a big, physical receiver whose goal is to often outmuscle and outjump defensive backs en route to making some phenomenal contested catches. He is literally one of the best athletes in the entire (not just Dallas') draft class, and his 9.88 grade on the Relative Athletic Scale of 1-10 proves it.

He's strong, fast, quick and has the wingspan and catch radius to give CBs nightmares 鈥 often able to outmuscle and outjump defensive backs en route to making some phenomenal contested catches. One of the best athletes in the entire (not just Dallas') draft class, his 9.88 grade on the Relative Athletic Scale of 1-10 proves it, and the battle for the role of WR3 and WR4 is what he'll be aimed at.

Did You Know: In a regular-season game against Tennessee Tech in 2023, Flournoy posted a career-high with 203 receiving yards, thanks in large part to an 89-yard touchdown, the longest of his career.

Quotable: "I pay attention to everybody. A lot of people say I play like Dez Bryant. For current players, either DJ Moore or Ja'Marr Chase. There's a lot of great receivers in the NFL, and I'm just eager to learn from them." - Ryan Flournoy
