Is it to meet Pollard? Learn from Armstrong? Be able to tell your kids you played with Jarwin? Don't make me read the article.

I wonder what Anae has that Carter doesnt at this point other than more exposure at Utah.

I think Jackson and Jelks may both find their way to the street come August.

A lot of that is up to Uncle Roger.

The Cowboys are looking for dogs on defense, and Carter wants them to know he's a whole kennel. "A coach can't teach me how to have that dog in me," he said. "A lot of players claim they have it, but I got it. The Cowboys saw it [ahead of the draft] and I'll show it [in person] once I get there. ... My dad just raised me different.

"Everything for me, I got out of the mud. I didn't get drafted, but this is just a part of my story. I made it this far from a small school. ...[and now] I get the chance to play for America's Team. This is an opportunity for me to show everybody what I'm made of, and I can't wait to do it."
