About Jake Ferguson
Jake Ferguson is a tight end from Wisconsin who blocks like he's personally offended by the existence of defensive ends. He came into the NFL as a blocker first, receiver second, and has been slowly, methodically adding to his game until coaches started drawing up plays for him instead of just pointing at the line of scrimmage and saying "move that guy." He's not flashy. He doesn't have a signature celebration. He catches the ball, gets the first down, and jogs back to the huddle like a man clocking in for a shift.
The Wisconsin pipeline to Dallas has produced exactly the kind of player you'd expect from a program that runs the ball 45 times a game and considers a forward pass a special occasion. Jake brings a blue-collar mentality to a franchise that is anything but blue-collar. While his teammates are negotiating mega-deals and filming content, Jake is working on his run-blocking technique and probably eating a cheese curd.
