Where did this come from? An undrafted wide receiver out of Auburn and Georgia Southern may have only needed one game to secure a roster spot overnight. Camden Brown made his mark, and the Dallas Cowboys are already taking notice.
Brown hauled in three catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns in a 17-7 win against the Seahawks. This included an incredible one-handed touchdown grab, and even the road crowd was stunned to see it. He also caught a 39-yard touchdown on a deep ball in the end zone.
Last but not least, if Brown's name wasn't included in the WR depth chart before last night, it should be now.

First off, amazing concentration and awareness here. Brown showed off what he can do when challenged to the max. He's been challenged in training camp, and he took that to the football field.
It's going to be an interesting last two preseason games, because the Cowboys' WR room is packed, to say the least.
This would also mean kicking out Traeshon Holden and even Jonathan Mingo. He's had recent injuries, but he hasn't exploded onto the scene at all, and certainly not as quickly as Brown. Mingo is 25 and has lots of room to grow, but he hasn't blown everyone away.
Holden was a breakout last year at training camp, but it looks like Brown has already stolen that thunder. Even Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who has a track record of being a deep-threat WR, looks to be behind Brown at the moment.
Other receivers we should highlight, Michael Trigg, the UDFA tight end out of Baylor, caught four balls for 30 yards. Trigg has been described as just another weapon for Dak Prescott, and he definitely looks like he's making strides, alongside Brevyn Spann-Ford, who was named the No. 2 TE on the team.
Brown's performance doesn't just keep him on the practice squad. Oh no, this man deserves a real contract on the team. There are still two games left in the preseason, but there's a chance Brown makes the final 53-man roster cuts.
