After not being targeted at all in the Cowboy’s season opener, the touchdown can give the rookie some confidence moving forward.
Schoonmaker’s 1-yard touchdown reception, which came on a pass from Dak Prescott, gave Dallas a comfortable 18-7 lead over the Jets as the game nears halftime. Dallas is looking for another win after picking up a dominant victory over the New York Giants last week. After a solid 12-5 season a year ago, the Cowboys are on the right track to start the 2023 season.
Schoonmaker spent 4 seasons at Michigan, where he amassed 637 yards and 7 touchdowns across his career. Schoonmaker was taken 58th overall in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
