Cowboys Work Out 19 Players Wednesday

Source: DC.com

The roads here in Dallas might have been too icy for some people to get to work, but it didn’t stop about 20 NFL hopefuls from showing up at Valley Ranch here on Wednesday for a tryout with the Cowboys.

The club worked out 19 players, none of which have much of any NFL experience at all. The names probably aren’t very common, that is unless you’re a big fan of the Arena Football League.

The Cowboys did work out two recognizable AFL guys in Philadelphia defensive back Eddie Moten and Georgia wide receiver Troy Bergeron. Five other players here today have AFL experience as well.

Of the 19 players, there is at least one at every position, excluding special teams.
The Cowboys did work out a quarterback in former William & Mary standout Mike Potts, along with running backs Mike Castellano (Monmouth) and Gilbert Harris (Arizona).
As of Wednesday, the Cowboys have not made any new roster moves.

Troy Bergeron, WR, No college
