Professional career[]

2017 season[]

After going undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft, Jarwin signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent on May 12.[7] He was waived on September 2, 2017[8] but was signed to the practice squad the next day.[9]

On October 26, 2017, Jarwin was promoted to the active roster, in order to avoid the Philadelphia Eagles signing him. The move forced Dallas to keep four tight ends.[10] He appeared in one game against the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 and recorded no statistics.[11]

2018 season[]

With the unexpected retirements of starter Jason Witten and backup James Hanna, Jarwin had a chance to compete for the starting tight end position, but was named the backup behind Geoff Swaim.[12][13]

After Swaim was lost to an injury in Week 11, rookie Dalton Schultz passed Jarwin on the depth chart as the starter and was used mostly for blocking purposes. Jarwin was named the starter for 4 games when the Cowboys used multiple tight end sets, finishing with 27 receptions for 307 yards and three touchdowns.[14]

In the regular-season finale against the New York Giants, Jarwin had the best game of his career, catching seven passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-35 road victory. He became the sixth tight end in franchise history to post a 100-yard receiving game and was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week due to his impressive performance.[15]

2019 season[]

In 2019, although Geoff Swaim left via free agency, Jason Witten returned to play professional football after spending one season as a Monday Night Football commentator.[16] Jarwin was a backup at tight end behind Witten, posting 31 receptions for 365 yards and three touchdowns. He had a chance to start in seven contests, when the team opened the game in a two tight end formation.[17]

2020 season[]

On March 16, 2020, he signed a three-year, $24.25 million contract extension.[18] The following day, it was announced in the media that Jason Witten would be leaving the Cowboys to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders, making Jarwin the starter at tight end.[19]

In the Week 1 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, Jarwin recorded one reception for 12 yards in the first half before leaving the game with a knee injury. The next day it was announced that he would be out for the season to undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery and was placed on injured reserve on September 15.[20][21]

Jarwin returned in 2021 as the backup to Dalton Schultz. He was placed on injured reserve on November 6, 2021 with a hip injury.[22] He was activated on January 8, 2022.
