Back in 2007, he was a budding quarterback-turned-wide receiver drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round with the 103rd overall pick.
Stanback attended the University of Washington where he flitted between both positions. In 2005, he started all 11 games at QB, recording 2,136 yards — the 15th most in school history at the time.

To this day, he ranks among Washington’s all-time top-ten in the 100-meter dash (10.48, eighth) and 4×100-meter relay (40.07, seventh) outdoors, and the 60-meter dash (6.80, eighth) indoors.
