Brevyn Spann-Ford emerges as top tight end option for Cowboys

Brevyn Spann-Ford is solidifying his position as the backup tight end for the Dallas Cowboys during training camp in Oxnard. After Luke Schoonmaker held the role last season, Spann-Ford has impressed with his ability as a pass-catcher and his strong performance in the run game. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott praised Spann-Ford's commitment and chemistry built in the offseason. Spann-Ford's rise in the depth chart was reflected by his absence in the Cowboys' recent preseason victory over Seattle. This shift comes in a pivotal year for Schoonmaker as he approaches the end of his rookie contract.
