The Dallas Cowboys have landed a hidden gem. Baylor tight end Michael Trigg is already turning heads with his unique physical profile, leaving fans wondering if he can defy the odds this summer. Yankee Scores reports.
A Physical Freak With Upside
Standing 6‑foot‑3 and weighing 240 pounds, Trigg combines size with rare athleticism. His wingspan stretches nearly 85 inches, paired with massive hands and long arms that rank among the best tight end prospects in recent years. That combination makes him a matchup nightmare across the field.
College Production That Demands Attention
Trigg’s final two seasons at Baylor showcased his growth. He posted 30 catches for 395 yards in 2024, then exploded with 50 receptions, 694 yards, and six touchdowns in 2025. His ability to line up in multiple spots gave defenses fits and highlighted his versatility.
Cowboys’ Tight End Competition
Dallas already boasts Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann‑Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker, with Princeton Fant also in the mix. The depth chart is crowded, but Trigg’s athleticism and upside make him a legitimate contender for a roster spot. Coaches have kept a close eye on him since his Baylor Pro Day.
Defying the Odds
Undrafted free agents rarely crack the 53‑man roster, especially at tight end. Yet Trigg’s profile and production suggest he could be one of the few exceptions. Analysts believe he has one of the best chances among UDFAs league‑wide to make the cut.
