Jonathan Mingo Predicts 'Full Potential' To Be Revealed For Cowboys In 2025

Dallas Cowboys receiver Jonathan Mingo was the punchline for jokes last season after being traded from the Carolina Panthers, and he barely saw the field.

An afterthought for some entering this offseason, Mingo has been putting his nose to the grindstone in an attempt to move his way up the depth chart.

And it's been working.

Through a week of training camp in Oxnard, Mingo has made play after play to the point where, as things stand, there's a case to be made that he is flashing more than Jalen Tolbert, and might even have the inside track into the third receiver role for Brian Schottenheimer.

"I'm trying to get on the field," Mingo said. "So, I'm out here competing every day, showing the coach how to do it in pass game and run game. I'll do whatever they need me to do. But I'm trying to go out here compete. I'm trying to get on the field. I'm trying to make plays. I feel like I haven't showed my full potential. I feel like my full potential going to show this year. So, when my number called, I'm going to make my play and I'm just going to help the team win."

Mingo has been connecting with both Dak Prescott and Joe Milton in Oxnard, and he's starting to make himself known, with the receiver spots behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens up for grabs.

Coming in mid-season last year, it was a hard time for Mingo to get adjusted to his new surroundings and be expected to hit the ground running. But now, with a full offseason to learn Schottenheimer's offense, we are seeing the benefits of that.

Mingo just wants to be a part of the offense in 2025, and if he keeps stacking the good days as he has been doing, he'll be guaranteed to see the field in Week 1.
