1. Noah Brown, Houston Texans

Noah Brown deserves a lot of praise for his perseverance. Selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Ohio State product worked at his craft for years before getting his shot.

Brown continued to fight his way onto the 53-man roster due mainly to his skill as a run-blocker. He played in just 21 games through his first three seasons in the league and had just nine receptions for 87 yards. He then had 30 catches for 338 yards between 2020 and 2021.

His usage climbed again in 2022 as the Cowboys had to lean heavily on him with Amari Cooper in Cleveland and Michael Gallup working his way back from a torn ACL. Brown responded with 43 receptions for 555 yards and three touchdowns.

He did enough to earn a free agency deal with the Houston Texans where he turned into a deep threat. Brown had a career-high 17.2 yards per catch for Houston, finishing with 567 yards on 33 receptions in just 10 games. However, he could be in danger of missing the cut in 2024.

Houston swung a massive trade for Stefon Diggs who joins Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods. That means a reunion with Brown could be realistic for Dallas.
