The Dallas Cowboys have closed training camp in California and are back in Dallas for the rest of summer. This 2026 camp gave us plenty to be excited about for the upcoming season. Who were the offensive players that made the most positive noise in Oxnard?
To be clear, this All-Oxnard Team doesn't reflect who the team's best players are. Perfect example: CeeDee Lamb didn't make the list, but he's still certainly better than some of the receivers who did. But in terms of generating hype with their training camp exploits, some of the lesser WRs made more headlines.
Dallas Cowboys 2026 All-Oxnard Offensive Team
Here are the offensive picks:
QB - Dak Prescott
This is a little bit of a default pick, because there wasn't much said about any of the QBs in camp. Sam Howell and Joe Milton were both solid, which was evident in how they performed in the first preseason game. But neither has separated himself from the other yet.
The consistent thing we did hear, though, was how Prescott was locked in and making plays day after day. There's no sign of decline in the 33-year-old entering his 11th season. If anything, his connections with key players like George Pickens and Jake Ferguson have only gotten better, and could make this already-potent offense all the better in 2026.
RB - Phil Mafah
Before a minor chest injury in Seattle, Mafah had the most momentum of any reserve running back. He'd moved into a neck-and-neck battle with Jaydon Blue for the backup job, and both had seemingly made Malik Davis an afterthought.
While that did shift a bit in the preseason game, Blue's stock is taking the bigger hit right now. As long as Mafah gets healthy and back to work, he still feels highly likely to make the roster as the power option behind Javonte Williams.
The overall RB depth is still concerning, but Mafah seems like the guy who's made the most of his opportunity.
WR - George Pickens
After a collective sigh of relief that he reported to camp without any contract fuss, Pickens quickly set the tone for the offense.
The highlight plays were immediate, with zero sign that there was any lack of effort or a disconnect from the team after a long offseason dueling with the front office. Pickens has made all of the right kind of noise during camp, only through his elite play on the field.
WR - Ryan Flournoy
If there were any actual questions about Flournoy's status this year, his excellent camp has solidified his WR3 status. Flournoy is really the 11th man on offense now, more so than Hunter Luepke, Brevyn Spann-Ford, or anyone else who logs the starts. He now provides great security if one of the starters misses time, and could be very dangerous when all of Dallas' top weapons are deployed.
WR - Camden Brown
While the dropoff after Flournoy is concerning, this UDFA is doing everything he can to shore things up. Brown may be the biggest star of camp, at least in terms of defying expectations.
Going into Oxnard, many would have pegged last year's standout UDFA, Traeshon Holden, as the dark horse favorite to make the roster. But Brown quickly stole his thunder, working his way up to second-team reps in early August and then putting his name in lights in the first preseason game. Nobody's stock had taken a bigger jump than Brown's.
OTs - Tyler Guyton and NOBODY
No, Guyton hasn't been everything you'd have hoped in a first-round pick, especially going into his third year. There are still concerns about technical breakdowns, especially in protection. But all offseason, he's been praised for his increased effort and improved approach to his job.
He also beat out Nate Thomas for a supposed competition at left tackle, though that may have had more to do with Thomas' weaknesses than Guyton's strengths. Nevertheless, at a position with little to feel great about right now, Guyton has at least made progress that will hopefully show up in the regular season.
As for that "NOBODY" pick, we just couldn't name anyone else worthy of positive recognition. Terence Steele hasn't had a good summer, which is concerning, as he's still problematic on his best days.
Thomas, we already mentioned, Ajani Cornelius got bumped over to guard, and Drew Shelton is still the raw, developmental rookie that we expected. So yeah, this is why we recently said offensive tackle was the team's weakest position.
IOL - Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker
No, these aren't very imaginative picks. But that's really been the story of camp: great starters and suspect depth across the interior line.
Smith has been everything you'd expect of a veteran All-Pro, setting the standard for the rest. Booker's already being treated like a trusted vet; strong play almost taken for granted after his exceptional rookie season. And Beebe has been praised for his third-year growth, including times he's won reps against Quinnen Williams.
Truthfully, we just haven't heard that much about the backups. T.J. Bass remains your key IOL depth, working at every spot over the last few weeks. Nick Leverett is starting to rise as a potential backup center, but it's still early. And others have either had their struggles or just haven't been newsworthy.
