Not in an angry or guarded way, but in a sharpened focus and a clearer appreciation for the chance to play football.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-channels-pixel.ex.co\/events\/0012000001fxZm9AAE?integrationType=DEFAULT&amp;template=design%2Farticle%2Fplatypus_two_column.tpl\" alt=\"\" class=\"x1px y1px vh abs\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s from the way you wake up,\u201d Brown said. \u201cFrom the day you wake up every day, you don\u2019t feel complacent. You wake up with an edge, showing gratitude. You don\u2019t show up and be like &#8216;Man, I\u2019ve got to survive today.&#8217; No, you don\u2019t want to be like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of defeating him, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/article\/seahawks-takeaways-22388244.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">going undrafted motivated him.<\/a> The reminder of how fragile a football life can be reminded him to live it to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great feeling,\u201d he said unironically about the day he went undrafted, \u201cbecause I feel like it was another chance to prove people wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a chance he continues to capitalize on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brown took on a starring role in Saturday\u2019s 17-7 preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks. Brown finished with three catches for 62 yards and two highlight-reel touchdown catches. The first was a 39-yard heave from quarterback Sam Howell that Brown caught despite tight coverage. The second was a fade from Joe Milton that looked like it might be out of Brown\u2019s range, until he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/article\/camden-brown-one-handed-td-cowboys-seahawks-22390085.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reached out with one hand and snagged it.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him the other day, when I\u2019ve seen him make plays in practice, it turns me up,\u201d said undrafted tight end Michael Trigg, who had a team-high four catches for 30 yards. \u201cLike it makes me get a little riled up, so I need to make a play now when I see him make a great play. He\u2019s a great player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It may have been a different field for Brown, but the results were similar. He set the Georgia Southern school record for touchdown catches in a season last year with 14. During training camp, he\u2019s shown the same ability, rising the depth chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game is not too big for him,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/topic\/brian-schottenheimer\/\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer <\/a>said. \u201cHe does it every, every day in practice. We see it all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But even Brown, with a big smile, could recognize Saturday was a little different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s how your dreams become a reality,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of reality: after the way Brown played Saturday, and after the way he\u2019s played in training camp, it\u2019s now realistic to consider him a major competitor in the race for one of the team\u2019s final receiver spots. The top four spots are spoken for from CeeDee Lamb, to George Pickens, to Ryan Flournoy and to return specialist\u00a0KaVontae Turpin. After Saturday\u2019s game, when Brown was speaking with reporters, all four of them walked by and kept saying Cam\u2019s name in unison.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s entered the conversation for more than just his receiving ability, however. He rose the depth chart on special teams. There was a kickoff return where Brown was seen blocking his opponent downfield and up to the whistle. He and a teammate celebrated after.<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I love about him is he does the little things, too,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cYou watch him on special teams and one-on-one drills and things like that: he realizes that\u2019s how you make this football team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat stuff matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a long way until Brown can earn a spot on the roster, though. The Cowboys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/article\/cowboys-rams-saints-joint-practices-training-camp-22315918.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">have a joint practice against the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday.<\/a> They have two more preseason games after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a really good day,\u201d Schottenheimer said of Brown, \u201cbut he\u2019s got to keep stacking days, like he\u2019s been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And ultimately, Brown has to keep proving people wrong. He had to keep his edge. He has an inspiration for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>Brown wore the picture of his younger sister, Kaden Storm Brown, around his neck after the game. She passed away\u00a0Aug. 13, 2021. In an Instagram post announcing her death, Brown marked his location as \u201cheart broken.\u201d Brown said that his sister was not expected to live past 3 years old due to kidney failure. Instead, she lived well beyond that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy little sister right here,\u201d Brown said pointing to his necklace, \u201cshe done proved everybody wrong. So that\u2019s just who I am. That\u2019s the way my family is built. We always prove everybody wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown continues to show it. Thursday marked the five-year anniversary of his sister\u2019s passing. He said this past week was tough for him. Two days later, he had a breakout performance on an NFL field. He started to smile when he thought about what his sister would tell him if she could.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019d be proud of me,\u201d Brown said. \u201cShe\u2019s smiling right now. That\u2019s how I live through it. She\u2019s smiling at me, and I\u2019m happy for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"uiTextSmall f aic jcc\">Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (19) catches a pass as Dallas Cowboys defensive back Shavon Revel (28) defends during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, in Seattle.\" loading=\"eager\"   style=\"aspect-ratio:3 \/ 2\" class=\"x100 y100 opc bgpc ofcv bgscv block bg-black mnh0px fill\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo (19) catches a pass as Dallas Cowboys defensive back Shavon Revel (28) defends during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Smiley N.
