Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup talked exclusively with PFN ahead of the official start of the 2023 NFL regular season and revealed about his new mindset heading into the regular season.
Now, into his sixth season with the Cowboys, Gallup had faced an ACL tear to his left knee in Week 17 of the 2021 season. He returned to the field last year in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders and scored a touchdown.
Gallup stated that he struggled to find himself after his return last season but utilized the offseason to build up the camaraderie with Dak Prescott and the WR room. He now says he can’t stop smiling as he heads into the 2023 season.
“I feel so good. I just smile all the time. I keep telling folks that I just smile when I walk in here because I know it’s go-time soon,” said Gallup, whose mindset is “1,000 leaps forward” from where it was last year when not cleared to play.
His theme this year is simply loving what he does.
“That’s probably one of the biggest things. I’m blessed to play this game, do what I do, you know put a smile on some kid’s face when I’m walking in the stadium. I’m blessed,” said Gallup.
Gallup wants to play his best throughout the year and also help the younger receivers around him play at their best.
“I feel like that’s something I bring to the table. Whether it’s talking to somebody on the sideline, talking about this route, or them helping me, you know, vice versa. So, I want everybody to be at best and be a part of it.” said Gallup.
