Record's Grit: Cowboys Campout for Weber State WR

0:00On April 17, Jaylene Record, a wide receiver from Weber State, is making ways by camping out right outside the Cowboys headquarters in Frisco. The Dallas kids showed up Friday morning with cleats around his neck and a handmade sign listing his killer measurables, like 23 bench press. Reps that would rank top three among wide receivers at the combine, a 10 foot 7 broad jump in the top 10, and a 41 inch vertical leap. Before others beat, he transferred from SMU, where he barely saw the field beyond special teams, to Weber State in Utah. There, over three seasons, he boosted his catches and yards each year, averaging more than 10 yards per reception every time. Analysts rank him 117th out of 380 wide receivers, this draft class, solid top 30%. Records no stranger to tough breaks, he lost his dad to cancer and dealt with homelessness himself. At 5 foot 7 and 170 pounds, he'd be the shortest and second lightest guy on the current

1:01Cowboys roster if they gave him a look. His sign flips the script, offering to run a 40 yard dash right there on the spot, claiming 4.3 to 4.4 seconds, despite a slower pro day in chilly weather. Twice a team captain, he's betting his grit and numbers kept someone's eye inside. Guys like record prove every NFL path is wild. And Bluetooth stars to underdogs hustling for that one shot. If the Cowboys press play, this could be his breakthrough moment.
