Breaking: Cowboys’ Pro Bowl Tight End Labeled ‘Bounce-Back Candidate’ in 2025

Dallas Cowboys star Jake Ferguson was the victim of a poor quarterback situation this past season.

Dallas Cowboys' Pro Bowl Tight End Labeled 'Bounce-Back Candidate' in 2025  - Athlon Sports

After being named to the Pro Bowl in 2023, this past season was a disappointing one for Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson.

But it might not have been all his fault.

In a recent article by Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton, he lists some of the players he thinks are poised for a bounce-back in 2025. And the Cowboys star is one of the players that he mentions.

“With the Cowboys’ uninspiring running back group, expect Prescott to fire away through the air for stretches in the upcoming term,” Moton wrote. “He’ll have enough targets to spread around for Ferguson to get back into Pro Bowl form.”

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott missed a good portion of the season due to a hamstring injury, so he only played in eight games.

Not so coincidentally, that is when Ferguson was getting more consistent targets.

The 26-year-old tight end finished the 2023 season with 761 yards and five touchdowns, which are some very solid numbers for a second-year tight end.

However, this past season, he was targeted almost 20 less times. But his QB will hopefully be able to stay on the field and throw him the ball in 2025.

Dallas missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020 this past season.

As a result, Ferguson and the rest of the offense will be looking to help lead the team back to the postseason to redeem themselves after what was a disappointing 2024 all around.
