Overview
- Jayleen Record stood outside The Star in Frisco with a sign asking the Cowboys to let him run the 40-yard dash and to consider him for a workout.
- Photos from Dallas Morning News reporter Joseph Hoyt showed Record with cleats around his neck and a poster that listed his case for a tryout.
- Record touted pro-day marks he says he hit, including a 4.3–4.4 40-yard dash, a 41-inch vertical, 23 bench reps, and a 22.8 mph top speed, which teams have not independently verified.
- He remains unsigned and says he loves Dallas but is appealing to all 32 NFL teams for a post-draft contract or a rookie camp invite, drawing social boosts from ex-Cowboy Jesse Holley.
- The Dallas native started at SMU, became a two-time captain at Weber State, and cites his father’s 2019 death and past homelessness as his drive, as coverage notes that teams usually rely on combines, pro days, and private workouts and that Dallas already has return threat KaVontae Turpin.
