Dallas Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb believes tours around the stadium are a distraction to the team. The Cowboys stadium is one of the most iconic in the NFL, and tours go around the stadium and facilities all throughout the day.
According to Lamb, he says the "Jerry World" tours around the stadium — so called after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — can be a distraction.
"Sometimes. That's all I'm going to say," Lamb said.

Lamb wouldn't provide any more information as to why it's a distraction, but the star receiver would likely prefer not to have the tours at the stadium.
However, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said people saying the tours are a distraction is "an excuse."
“For one, this is all I know. I'm not going to let a couple of people touring the building distract me. I'm present where I am," Prescott said. "I think, honestly, it's an excuse. What's the difference in (reporters) coming in the locker room and talking? Guys b**ch about that,too. And I don't get that.
"It's being professional, some things you deal with. Obviously, I guess, the nature of this organization, the tours are probably 10 times more than other places, if other places are doing them."
Prescott also says he isn't going to let some people walking around the stadium be a distraction to him or take his mind off of football.
“For me, it's just easy to say ‘What’s up,’ wave and keep walking. I think I've heard you feel like a zoo animal, well, it's like, sometimes I bark back and I say ‘Hey,’ and you just keep rolling," Prescott added. "A lot going on, I'm not going to allow a couple of people (walking) through the workplace, there's people on the other side of the building that you don't necessarily know.
"Is it a distraction when you're grabbing your plate and they're grabbing theirs? It's easy to focus on what you want to focus on, if that's your mindset.”
CeeDee Lamb used bye week to help chemistry with Dak Prescott
Dallas is coming off its bye week and will return to the field on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Lamb says in the bye week, he linked up with Prescott to go over routes and work on their timing. The two are trying to spark the Cowboys offense, which has struggled this season.
This season, Lamb has recorded 32 receptions for 467 yards and two touchdowns.
The Cowboys are currently 3-3 and in third place in the NFC East.
