FRISCO, Texas – Only in Texas could a first-round draft pick call to mind a Taco Bell commercial.
Ask Taco Charlton, the Cowboys’ newest pass rusher, how he got his famous nickname, and he’ll tell you it’s a long story. He’ll say it’s something his mother and his grandmother came up with.
“When your grandmother and mother give you a name, it’s hard to run away from it,” he said on Friday.
Charlton’s parents, Tamara and Norm, took the trip to Texas on Friday to watch their son’s introduction as a Dallas Cowboy. If you want details, Tamara is more than happy to provide them – starting with her son’s insistence on being born early, back on Nov.
