Trigg's Fight for Cowboys Roster Spot

0:00On May 1st, Cowboys' rookie minicam kicks off Friday in Frisco, Texas with 11 undrafted free agents fighting for roster spots. Leading the pack his Baylor tight-end Michael Trigg, who some scouts paid for a 5th or 6th round draft pick but slipped through the cracks, Trigg brings serious size to the table, clocking in at 6.3 and 3.4 inches tall, 240 pounds, with the longest. Wingspan among tight-ends at his class at the NFL Combine. His pre-draft process lit up when Cowboys' tight-ends coach Lunda Wells work with him hands on at Baylor's pro-day. That personal touch from Wells fired Trigg up, calling it a huge blessing and highlighting the coaches' real intent with players. Now undrafted, he's got that classic chip on his shoulder, turning disappointment into pure motivation. Trigg's been grinding film on the Cowboys' offense, loving how coordinator Brian Shottenheimer mixes in tight-ends like Jake Ferguson alongside Deck, Prescott and CD Lamb. He sees his versatility blocking gaps and lining up anywhere as the perfect fit to add depth.

1:04As many camp unfolds, Trigg's laser focused on proving he belongs, aiming to stick in the league long-term and carve out his spot on Dallas's squad.
