Cowboys Reveal Surprise View With Luke Schoonmaker Prediction

Entering his third NFL offseason, Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker is reaping the rewards of finally "getting on the grass," as tight ends coach Lunda Wells says.

After having two injury-interrupted offseasons, which directly impacted his ability to perform at a high level in the regular season, through OTAs, minicamp, and now training camp, "Schoony" has finally gotten a clear runway.

And it's paying off.

Even Luke himself stated that this offseason was his "greatest" health-wise, and now head coach Brian Schottenheimer comes in with a rather definitive statement about the tight end in 2025.

“With Schoony, I think I've talked multiple times about his confidence,” Schottenheimer said. “He came back, and his body was ready. Some of the training and the things that he did during the offseason, to get ready for the offseason program was awesome.

"He was around a lot more than he was in years past. Just working out with our guys and spending time with (trainer) Britt Brown and those guys. But I think he's having a great camp and again, one of those guys that we expect to have a big year for us.”

With Jake Ferguson as TE1, and for some, Brevyn Spann-Ford his backup, Schoonmaker needs to have a big Year 3 in the worst way.

Considering in his two NFL seasons, Schoonmaker hasn't played more than 35 percent of the offensive snaps in each year, it tells you all you need to know, and now, No. 86 needs to hit the ground running.

Because yes, he is in his third year, but with Spann-Ford easily overshadowing him in training camp before his injury, Luke needs to take advantage of his chances.

As for the "big year" comment by Schottenheimer, we hope Schoonmaker finally delivers on his talent.
