The Dallas Cowboys could go a number of ways during the offseason to address the lack of depth at wide receiver. Whether it's bringing in an NFL veteran through free agency or a promising NFL Draft prospect, the options will be available.

Of course, when your franchise is run by Jerry Jones, there is no telling what will happen.

There is one prospect, however, who has become a popular name linked to the Cowboys. Massive wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who was a standout for the Arizona Wildcats, is the guy who perfectly fits what Dallas needs opposite CeeDee Lamb.

On Monday, McMillan made it clear that he should be considered in the first round.

After measuring 6-foot-4, 219 pounds, McMillan ran a 4.48 40-yard dash at the Wildcats Pro Day with 24 teams in attendance.

That time will certainly open some eyes, but now the Cowboys risk missing out on McMillan if he shoots up the draft boards and the team is not "selectively aggressive" on draft day.
