Jalen Tolbert, a promising wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, was born on February 27, 1999. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound athlete hails from Mobile, Alabama, and played college football at South Alabama, where he excelled as the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. Despite the lesser-known competition in the Sun Belt, he showcased his talent against SEC teams, notably catching seven passes for 143 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee.

The Cowboys selected Tolbert in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He received a personal call from quarterback Dak Prescott ahead of the draft, creating a memorable moment for the young receiver. Despite his potential, Tolbert faced challenges in his first two seasons as he struggled to find his footing in the NFL, which has limited his contributions on the field thus far.
