FRISCO, Texas – Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has been on the same football field with Sam Williams now twice in his life.
But it was because of the feeling Quinn had after the first time, is probably one of the main reasons there was even a second time.
The second occurred Friday during the Cowboys rookie minicamp at The Star.
Williams, the Cowboys' second-round draft pick, was among over 30 rookies on the field for the first time together.
Maybe he blended in a little more this time around, but Quinn recalled the first time he got the chance to evaluate Williams in person as the Cowboys sent some coaches to Ole Miss for a pre-draft workout.
"Leaving the field that day, I remember telling Mike (McCarthy), 'Man I'd really like to coach that guy.' So that's a good feeling to have."
And it might be a great feeling, especially considering the Cowboys actually drafted Williams with the 56th overall pick.
