Cowboys add Simi Fehoko to receiving corps

Key stats: 37 receptions, 574 yards, 3 TDs, 15.3 YPC
It's time to learn Fehoko's name if he's unfamiliar to you. After running a 4.42 40-yard dash and registering a 6.86-second three-cone time at 222 pounds, the Stanford product showed he's a truly rare physical specimen. Fehoko's final collegiate game featured a glimpse at his untapped potential, as he burned UCLA for 16 catches, 230 yards, and three touchdowns. The physical wideout has showcased his impressive tools, but with just 16 career games and four starts to his name, he still needs to develop. However, if Fehoko's NFL team refines his route-running, look out.
