Play of the Day: Mike Hamlin's diving pick

We didn't have much to choose from today, since the only competition during the opening practice was a 7-on-7 session. But fifth-round SS Mike Hamlin's pick would have been a pretty good candidate even on an action-packed day.
Blanket coverage by Courtney Brown, who is working as the fourth cornerback, on a Miles Austin post route made the pick possible. Brown showed off his 41-inch vertical by soaring to deflect Tony Romo's pass away from Austin.
Hamlin, who was trailing the play, showed off the ball skills that helped him pick off 14 passes at Clemson by diving to scoop up the ball just before it hit the turf.
Brown, who struggled with the physical aspect of playing safety the last two seasons, impressed the coaches all spring with his work at cornerback, his college position. This play displayed the kind of athleticism that makes his potential at cornerback so intriguing.
