The start to CeeDee Lamb’s career is among the best in NFL history.
There’s no denying CeeDee Lamb has lived up to the mantle of wearing No. 88. It’s hard to imagine a world in which he could have worn another number because there’s a chance he might become the best wide receiver to wear that number in the history of the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite missing time last year due to injury, Lamb has had over 1,100 yards receiving for the past four seasons. Since 2021, his combined 5,404 receiving yards have been the fourth-best among wide receivers. Lamb’s success over his first half-decade in the NFL has put his start to his career among some elite names in the game’s history.
Top 5 wide receivers in NFL history for most receiving yards across their first five seasons:1. Justin Jefferson - 7,4322. Tory Holt - 6,7843. Randy Moss - 6,7434. Jerry Rice - 6,3645. CeeDee Lamb - 6,339(via @Stathead)#DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/BWicpzgLAt
