With the Dallas Cowboys preparing for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, the team is looking to contend for a Super Bowl and bring back its winning DNA. As the Cowboys take on the New Orleans Saints in the preseason, star wide receiver Drake London would reveal who he looks up to, as fans of Dallas will love to hear it.

Speaking on “The Schultz Report” with NFL insider Jordan Schultz, he asked Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London, running back Bijan Robinson, and tight end Kyle Pitts which player was the last highlight reel they watched.

While Robinson would say NBA star and current Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie, and Pitts answered former wide receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, London would mention former Cowboys pass-catcher Dez Bryant.

“The physicality, he knows how to win in certain spaces that I might be in a lot, close quarters-and he’s just a big guy that I love to learn from,” London said.

I asked #Falcons WR Drake London, RB Bijan Robinson, and TE Kyle Pitts the last player highlights they watched on YouTube to learn from:

⚫️Drake: @DezBryant
⚫️Bijan: 2016 Kyrie Irving!
⚫️Pitts: @ochocinco

While the highlight reel with Bryant’s time with the Cowboys is one filled with endless exciting plays, his tenure with Dallas will no doubt be remembered as productive, amassing over 7,000 yards with the team from 2010 to 2017. Fortunately, Cowboys fans haven’t had to look too far for elite wide receiver play, as CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are featured players of the offense heading into next season.

At any rate, Dallas looks ahead to Week 1 of the regular season, which starts for them on Sept. 13 against the New York Giants. As for London, he looks to improve after finishing with 919 yards on 68 catches with seven touchdowns in 12 games.
