Wearing a white Cowboys jersey and his trademark tights, receiver Terrell Owens officially took the practice field Friday for the first time in seven months.
While he looked like the same old Owens -- catching everything thrown to him and dominating his defensive counterpart -- he said he is a different man.
One who has been humbled by his experiences last season in Philadelphia, which led to a season-long suspension on Nov. 4 and his eventual release on March 14.
Owens, who signed a three-year, $25 million contract with the Cowboys on March 18, said he has had a lot of time to think about what happened over the past year . He plans to take a different approach in Dallas.
'You kind of grow and learn from your mistakes, and I think I have done that,' Owens said at the beginning of the Cowboys' three-day minicamp. 'I plan on trying to be a better person in life and better teammate. Obviously, one of my goals here is to help this team win, and I am very excited about the opportunity to play for the Cowboys.'
So far, quarterback Drew Bledsoe is a believer.
'What's past is past as far as I'm concerned,' Bledsoe said. 'I'm going to go based on what I see and based on our relationship. He's the guy that I expected him to be. When we went out and threw some routes when we ran with the team, he was the guy kind of leading the way. I would expect that he'll continue to do that.'
Several other Cowboys share the same sentiment, including tight end Jason Witten, receiver Terry Glenn, cornerback Aaron Glenn and linebacker Bradie James.
'I feel like at this point that I am with the greatest team in the nation, ' Owens said. 'I have a chance to go out here on top with one of the greatest teams, coaches and owners. This is Chapter 1.'
