But it goes deeper than that. His mother was a Cowboys fan, so he was a Cowboys fan. He knows all about the secondary from the re-signing of Morris Claiborne to Brandon Carr to the injury Orlando Scandrick suffered last year.

"She'd been a Cowboys fan before I was born," Brown said. "When I was a baby, she has a picture of me in an Emmitt Smith shirt. So that's kind of cool too."

After watching all of those "Secret phone calls" on DC.com, the one that had Jerry and Garrett smiling the most (day 2&3) was with Brown. What that means, I don't know, but it stood out to me. The phone call with Rico Gathers sounded like he wasn't overly excited about coming to Dallas.

I think has more to do with proximity most of all. While there are Cowboys fans all over the place, drafting players closer to Texas tends to increase the odds those players will be longtime Cowboys fans.
