“He will be balling. Sooner or later, if CeeDee does what he do. He’ll be there too. Drew should be there too. They did him wrong. And we’re working on that. That’s the calling card when you come into ‘The 88 Club.’ And CeeDee Lamb, step up son, you’re in ‘The 88 Club.”

Furthermore, in a call-in to broadcaster ESPN, the 3x Super Bowl winner heaped more praise on Lamb. He said, “In order to get this number you must be what we call a ‘true bred. That means born, bleed, and bred right here with the Dallas Cowboys.”

“Drew Pearson was that. Michael Irvin was that. Dez Bryant was that and now CeeDee Lamb is that.”

With Dak Prescott at quarterback and Amari Cooper as wide receiver thrilling the league last season. The addition of Lamb will only enhance the Cowboys’ offensive threat.
