DALLAS - Mike Thomas was awestruck when he walked onto the field Wednesday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, where so many Dallas Cowboy and NFL stars have played.
It was the Southern Miss wide receiver's first time inside an NFL stadium.
Thomas, a senior, walked quietly through the state-of-the-art facility along with his Golden Eagle teammates during a private tour courtesy of Dallas Cowboys media relations coordinator and Southern Miss alum Joe Trahan. Thomas, the team's newly minted single-season record-holder for receiving yards, gazed into the stands from ground level, taking photos and took a seat in the end zone.
