Former Texas offensive lineman Connor William's dream come true of being drafted by his hometown team being able to continue his career 20 minutes from his parents home in Coppell was born out of a Dallas Cowboys nightmare in Atlanta.
The Cowboys had two players in mind when it was there turn to pick in the second round on Friday. It was Williams and a defensive end.
The team decided to go offense with Williams and helped shore up the offensive line because owner Jerry Jones and the entire organization still wakes up in cold sweats over the 27-7 loss to the Falcons on Nov.
