Growing up a fan of the Dallas Cowboys made it easy for Gerald McCoy to agree to a contract with the team as a free agent.
Appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio (h/t NFL.com's Grant Gordon), McCoy explained why it's "almost like a dream come true" to play for the Cowboys.
"Overall, it's the star," he said Friday. "I grew up two-and-a-half hours away in Oklahoma City. Some portion of everybody at some point supported the Dallas Cowboys. Because it's all we had."
ESPN's Todd Archer reported Tuesday that McCoy agreed to a three-year deal with the Cowboys.
