Cowboys' most experience WR knows part of his role is to pass along what he's learned

SAN ANTONIO -- The names fly out of Miles Austin (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10147/miles-austin)'s mouth.

"Terry Glenn (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/940/terry-glenn), T.O., Pat Crayton, Terrance Copper (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5799/terrance-copper), J.R. Tolver (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4627/jr-tolver), Sam Hurd (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10194/sam-hurd), Jamaica Rector (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9437/jamaica-rector), uhhh, Skyler Green (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/9711/skyler-green)," Austin said, reciting the Dallas Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys) wide receivers when he arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2006 out of Monmouth.

Somehow he forgot Damarius Bilbo and LaShaun Ward (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5395/lashaun-ward).

Six years later, Austin is the only one of that bunch still with the Cowboys.
And while Austin is not the oldest wide receiver on the roster -- Jesse Holley (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10746/jesse-holley) and Titus Ryan (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11167/titus-ryan) have him by a few months -- he is the most accomplished, with youngsters Dez Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13215/dez-bryant), Dwayne Harris (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14100/dwayne-harris) and Kevin Ogletree (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12588/kevin-ogletree) looking at him the way he looked at Glenn, Terrell Owens (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/1056/terrell-owens) and Crayton.

We are so lucky to have this guy ....... 3 years ago I thought he was JAG.

I am so glad I was wrong.

Man I'm glad the Cowboys developed him, he's a great guy and a tremendous player! He's only 27, yikes!
