The Cowboys selected two wide receivers in the 2017 NFL draft. Ryan Switzer (fourth round, 123rd overall) and seventh-round pick Noah Brown, the 239th overall selection from Ohio State.
As a late-round pick, he's already a longshot to make the 53-man roster, especially when the Cowboys re-signed veterans Terrance Williams and Brice Butler, Kristi Scales of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Brown played only 24 games in two years as a Buckeye, so lack of experience will be a factor.
"(Brown) is a little bit of an all-around guy," said Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. "He's an outside receiver with a big frame (6-2, 222). He's kind of got a 'tweener' size when it comes to receiver. He's got a little bit of a TE element to his game as far as his size and the matchup and the people he's blocking. So he should match up well in that area.
"He's a good receiver, too. He has a real consistence game, and he's a smart kid, so we're excited about him."
