Beyond his professional pursuits, Christopher Fess enjoys following the National Football League’s (NFL) Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys added seven players to their roster through the 2020 NFL Draft, which concluded in April 2020. With its first pick, 17th overall, the team selected University of Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. In his junior season in 2019, Lamb accumulated 1,327 receiving yards on 62 receptions and scored 14 touchdowns. Through three seasons at the school, he registered 3,292 receiving yards and 32 touchdowns. He was a Consensus All-American in 2019.

Dallas selected University of Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs with its second-round pick. Diggs had an impressive senior campaign, with 37 tackles, eight passes defended, and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. He and fourth-round pick Reggie Robinson II have the potential to step right in and make an impact in Dallas’ secondary. The Cowboys also drafted defensive tackle Neville Gallimore (Oklahoma), center Tyler Biadasz (Wisconsin), defensive end Bradlee Anae (Utah), and quarterback Ben DiNucci (James Madison).

An accomplished financial advisor, Christopher Fess has guided Fess Financial in Frisco, Texas, since 2003. Outside his professional life, Christopher Fess is an avid Dallas Cowboys fan.

Coming off a disappointing 8-8 record in 2019, the Dallas Cowboys hoped to recruit some top-tier free agents and put together a strong draft to compete in the 2020 season. However, the team suffered an unexpected blow when its star center, Travis Frederick, announced his surprise retirement at the end of March 2020.

Drafted by the Cowboys in the first round in 2013, Frederick became a mainstay on the team’s offensive line, anchoring a strong unit that included fellow All-Pro linemen Zack Martin and Tyron Smith. A five-time Pro Bowler himself, Frederick missed all of 2018 when he was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Though he returned for all 16 games of the 2019 campaign, it would be his last.

In his announcement, Frederick stated that he was retiring, in part because he could no longer play at the high level he and his teammates were accustomed to. The Cowboys have not announced who would replace Frederick in the starting lineup, but the team’s options include Joe Looney, who filled in for Frederick during the 2018 season.
