Texas governor Greg Abbott surprises Cowboys' Michael Gallup with war room call | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Colorado State wide receiver Michael Gallup heard an unexpected voice on the other end of the line when the Dallas Cowboys drafted him in the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday night.

"All I could say was, 'Yes. Yes. Yes,'" Gallup said.
