Cowboys put Franchise Tag on him. He will make about $10.94 million next year. Not bad for a guy that was a fringe NFL prospect.

He was not (and should never have been) a fringe NFL prospect. Consistently mocked in the middle rounds. All the tools were there. Was just horrifically misused, which should not be a surprise under this staff.

Ok. “Fringe prospect was the wrong phrase.  IIRC,which is always a big if. He was considered a terrific blocker with limited speed etc.  More of a blocking  tight end, NFL wise. Which was the case his first couple years.  He took advantage of Whittens retirement and stepped up when another TE got hurt.  So, good for him.  

As for his “misuse” at Stanford - he played with Kaden Smith and Colby Parkinson his senior year. They got around 60 catches from the three.  Schultz was first team all PAC-12. So if unsure how he was “misused.”
