FRISCO -- One of the first veterans Michael Gallup bumped into at The Star during the Cowboys rookie orientation was Tavon Austin.
Gallup and the rest of this rookie class are determined to prove they belong in the NFL. That doesn't lessen the anxiety or excitement that exists with the first day on the job.
"I went and shook his hand, and I was kinda like, 'do I tell him my full name, do I say my middle name?'" Gallup recounted.
"You've got nerves, for sure. These are some big-time cats. You definitely want to make sure you make a good first impression.
