The Dallas Cowboys have always been in the limelight and subject to a bunch of storylines. That's what happens when you're America's Team and always have multiple primetime games throughout the year.
It also helps that the Dallas Cowboys are consistently racking up wins and division titles. After winning the division again in 2023, they have secured 26 total NFC East crowns since 1970, the most in the division.
Everyone knows how much the Cowboys are talked about and it rubs their rivals the wrong way. Regardless, Dallas has a very talented bunch of guys. Meanwhile, around the division, there are some players who are overrated.
Below we'll name who those three players in the NFC East are.
1. Jahan Dotson, WR, Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders thought they were getting a dynamic weapon when they drafted Jahan Dotson with the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Coming into the league, Dotson was described as a dangerous playmaker who has strong hands.
He was known for being able to separate but Dotson hasn't blown anyone away since entering the NFL.
Across two seasons, he's finished with 84 receptions for 1,041 yards and 11 total touchdowns. The Penn State product has failed to eclipse more than 525 yards in either season despite playing 12-plus games in each year.
Meanwhile, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave both have gone over 1,000 yards in consecutive campaigns with poor QBs under center. Also, Drake London notched 860-plus yards in back-to-back seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.
In comparison to these three WRs who also went in the first round, Dotson hasn't produced to their level.
