Cowboys’ Tavon Austin brings speed, versatility and a big chip on his shoulder from the Rams

Tavon Austin will always play with a chip on his shoulder. That’s just the way it has been, he said, and will always be.

The 5-foot-8 receiver has been counted out and overlooked because of his size, which has helped build that chip.

“There’s always going to be a chip on my shoulder, No. 1 because I’ve always been small,” said Austin, who was the last player off the practice field Thursday evening.

Austin, who was the No. 8 overall pick out of West Virginia in the 2013 NFL draft, felt misused by the Rams in 2017.
