*Jalen Reagor, Texas Christian Football News: Draft Scout Player News

04/10/20 - WR *Jalen Reagor, Jr/2020, Texas Christian

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has known what type of game-changing player TCU's Jalen Reagor has been for years. Jones remembers Reagor's highlight-reel play on a 73-yard touchdown run in high school when Waxahachie took on Highland Park in 2016. That's one of the first things Jones mentioned when the Dallas Cowboys held a virtual interview with Reagor on Thursday. Those electric plays continued for Reagor during his college career at TCU. Nobody will soon forget his remarkable TD run on a jail-break screen at Baylor in 2018, or his 73-yard punt return for a TD against Kansas last season after dropping the ball.

With that being said, it's no surprise to see Reagor on the Cowboys' draft radar as teams are always seeking playmakers on offense. And Reagor fits that label as well as anyone. Along with Jones, other notable Cowboys personnel on the call with Reagor included executive vice president Stephen Jones, vice president of player personnel Will McClay, head coach Mike McCarthy, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, special-teams coordinator John Fassel and area scout Sam Garza. Fassel asked Reagor about a favorite return man growing up. "Devin Hester," Reagor said, "Because I watched him do it in the Super Bowl against my dad." Speaking of his father's influence, Jalen told the Cowboys' brass: "If you plan on having a long career, you've got to do things the right way. My dad did things the right way. That's why he played in the league for nine years. If you're there for a long time, you're doing something right." Reagor is viewed as a possible first-round talent and the Cowboys have the 17th overall pick. It's unlikely Reagor would be available for the Cowboys when they pick in the second round (51st overall). - Fort Worth Star
