But Garrett also enjoys working out in Oxnard, where fans gave the Cowboys a warm greeting when practice kicked off Sunday.

“It’s a fantastic place,” Garrett said. “We have had great times here. The people of Oxnard are outstanding. We have such a good feeling about how everybody treats us here. The weather is great. The facility is great. The fields are great. All of that stuff.
