Cowboys' Tyrone Crawford and DeMarcus Lawrence have family bond

FRISCO, Texas -- Tyrone Crawford can’t forget the purple sweatsuit DeMarcus Lawrence was wearing the first time they met in 2011.

Crawford was in his final year at Boise State. Lawrence was visiting the school, sporting his Butler Community College swag, unsure of what college he would choose.

“Everybody who seen me was like, ‘Who’s this dude with the big Barney suit on?’” Lawrence remembered. “They were on my head bad.”

At dinner the night before the Broncos played Wyoming, Lawrence wanted Crawford to try a pass-rush move in the game. Arm over, back pat, rip.
