Cowboys Rookie WR Camden Brown Posts 2-TD Performance vs. Seahawks
There are already several sleepers emerging early in the preseason. Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie wide receiver Camden Brown posted three catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks.
Brown has been one of the Cowboys standouts during training camp.
“When the ball is in the air, it’s mine,” Brown noted following the breakout performance, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “That’s always been the mindset from Georgia Southern to Auburn.
“Just having that mentality because I feel like just playing football in general is having the right mentality. … I feel like I get to prove people wrong again. That’s just who I am. That’s been my whole life story.”
