The Dallas Cowboys are trying to get over the playoff hump that has plagued them for nearly three decades. That hump has seemed larger than ever in recent years as the team has won 12 regular season games three seasons in a row, but have failed to get past the second round of the playoffs each time.
That hasn’t tempered the Cowboys’ expectations in 2024, and now they can call one of their full time starters by his true first name.
Dallas Cowboys Full Time Starter Reveals True First Name
Following a breakout 2023 NFL season, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is quickly becoming a household name. However, one recent report regarding their stud tight end shocked some Dallas fans:
Ferguson’s real name isn’t Jake. Jake’s real name is Jonathan, he revealed to Dallas Cowboys on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus at Cowboys training camp. How did Jonathan turn into Jake?
“I could not tell you,” Ferguson told Amaranthus. “My parents chose Jonathan… My middle name is Quinn. I prefer ‘Ferg,’ but whatever works.
Ferguson’s surprising first name is not the only fun fact about the tight end.
Before every Cowboys game in 2024, Ferguson takes a shot of pickle juice, followed by a orange gatorade and then a beet juice shot. After his drinks, Ferguson puts on his left sock, then right sock then left shoe, then right shoe. His pregame tradition became superstitious for Ferguson, who excelled in his second season as a Dallas Cowboy.
(Also pickle juice is a great remedy for cramping.)
During the 2023 season, Ferguson caught 71 passes for 761 yards and five touchdowns, earning him a trip to the Pro Bowl. It is Ferguson’s goal in the upcoming season to make another leap in the Cowboys offense in order to reach the ultimate goal: the Super Bowl.
