PICKERINGTON, Ohio - Taco Charlton is unfazed by reactions or quips his name inspires. The Cowboys' newest first-round draft pick has heard 'em all. His 15-year-old sister, Sydney, gets the worst of it now, dubbed 'Baby Burrito' or the like.

"I enjoy it, I welcome it," Charlton said. "You probably won't meet a lot of Tacos."

Charlton gamely posed in his bow tie with a platter of hard-shell tacos during his introduction last month at The Star in Frisco.
