2026 Cowboys UDFA Thread

Genghis Khan said:
Michael Trigg, a tight end with collegiate experience at USC, Ole Miss, and Baylor, faced multiple suspensions during his career due to various disciplinary issues. Most recently, in 2024, he was suspended for a game at Baylor due to off-field issues, following a previous suspension in 2023 at Ole Miss for the first half of a game.

Key Details on Suspensions and Incidents:

2024 (Baylor): Trigg, along with linebacker Steve Linton, was suspended for the game against BYU for unspecified off-field, disciplinary reasons.

2023 (Ole Miss): Suspended for the first half of the season opener against Mercer for disciplinary reasons.

2025 Incident: Reports indicated a contentious incident occurred between Trigg and Baylor Athletic Director Mack Rhoades regarding a clothing item during a bye week.

I think this is why he wasn't drafted. I think in terms of pure receiving ability he has skills teams want.
 
Didn't really love in that interview where he said the questions most scouts had of him were about how much he loved the game, etc.

Hope this isn't another Rico Gathers. Not that UDFA hurts much if he doesn't work out.

Yeah I don't think that's exactly the problem from what I heard. Maybe more like Pickens.
 
Decent highlight reel. He shows good awareness.

So did he go undrafted solely because of the off the field stuff? Because all I hear about the dude is how good is catching skills are.

I guess that was the case. He is also not an in-line blocker which is more of a thing now with TEs.

The way he gets talked about and the amount of attention he is getting from fans, Dallas media types and even the team would make you think the dude was a third round pick or something.

But I get it, you watch him and its hard to understand why he wasn't drafted in like the fourth round. But there is also a reason why he received discipline from his college teams.
 
I am more excited about Trigg than any UDFA I can ever recall outside of Lael Collins.

The kid transitions so quickly to running after catching and has a crazy catch radius. Some coaching on pad level will help with his blocking, but this guy is definitely a draftable talent.

Yeah the good news is we have a Lunda Wells to hopefully keep this kids head on straight. Because I'm pretty convinced that he didn't go undrafted because of his talent. It's the charecter red flags that allowed him to be undrafted. Which is good because those red flags become a pretty low risk thing when there is no real investment.
