Conley chronicles his path to the NFL, providing insight into his journey heading into the draft, which recently included a workout with the Cowboys.
It would be an honor to play for the Cowboys. Those guys are ballers. They are called America's Team for a reason - a great organization with a winning tradition. It was cool to be able to interact and work with those guys. Moving forward, this process is something I continue to take in stride. Having the honor to work with teams like the Cowboys, one that I have watched on TV and seen that star on their helmet, is pretty surreal. So it was a cool moment.
The Cowboys said not to worry about the process. So many people get anxious and they get caught up in where they are going to get drafted or how high. Ultimately they told me my draft position does not determine my opportunity. Outside of the first and second rounds, everyone is pretty much on an even playing field. It comes down to making the most of the opportunities when I get them. I was told that if I continue to work the way that I am that I will be just fine. It is about how I work, putting in the time, and having a focus to set aside a couple years of my life on this game if I want to be successful at it.
