The Dallas Cowboys front office has been busy ever since Jerry Jones went full blast with his love for Odell Beckham Jr. After having passed on the superstar free agent, the $8 billion NFL team has continued with their plan to strengthen their roster. Making signings this late in the season is a clear showing of the organization’s seriousness for the postseason.

The NFC East franchise has been solid throughout the season and aims to be a contender for the Vince Lombardi trophy as well. Their latest acquisition sees former top prospect and cousin of Lamar Jackson, Trayvon Mullen, become the latest Cowboy.

The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Mullen in 2019 in the second round. Similar to Lamar Jackson, Mullen has proven to be a physical specimen in the NFL since his appearance at the combine.

Though the duo has never played together, they share a great relationship off the field as per Mullen. They have had a competitive upbringing ever since high school, as they were often competing with each other. However, that hasn’t affected their relationship. Mullen has always been in awe of his cousin.
