Blogging The Boys on Michael Trigg
From the article
Even before Fant's injury, many had Trigg as the fourth man at tight end... Trigg has been as advertised in terms of his athleticism and pass-catching skills... Brian Schottenheimer noted that Trigg is able to do special things as a receiving TE. But Coach was quick to shift to D.J. Rodgers, highlighting his all-around game and very important skill of run blocking.
STACKED’s take
Trigg competing for fourth TE spot; pass-catching skills noted but blocking edge favors Rodgers.
The UDFA TE has been positioned as a potential fourth tight end option for Dallas, with some analysts even suggesting he could challenge Luke Schoonmaker. Trigg has demonstrated his advertised athleticism and pass-catching skills in camp with tough catches in traffic and sliding grabs. However, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer noted that while Trigg can do special things as a receiving TE, the competition with fellow UDFA D.J. Rodgers remains even, with Rodgers' superior run-blocking potentially being more valuable at the bottom of the depth chart. Trigg was a well-known draft commodity who fell to undrafted status due to character concerns; strong preseason performance could secure him a 53-man roster spot or practice squad position as the Cowboys may be cautious about risking him to waivers.
