Those looking for big news out of Dallas as the NFL’s free agency tampering period kicked off Monday were saddened as the Cowboys only action involved signing a tight end who’s best known for playing baseball.
McElroy, 26, first played football in 2017 at Southeastern Oklahoma. He never played high school football, instead playing baseball.
He played junior college baseball, then one year at the University of Texas before transferring to Division II Cameron University. The Atlanta Braves drafted him in the 19th round, and McElroy spent two years in the Braves’ system.
