Dallas Cowboys rookies loaded a Salvation Army truck with the hundreds of toys and gifts purchased by the Cowboys for children in need at Valley Ranch Thursday.

Well tight end Martellus Bennett, never short on words, declared himself the "black Santa Claus."

He's 6-6 and 265 pounds. So he won't get much argument. He even has the beard to match.

We have pictures of the festivities.

I'm right there with you. After "Hard Knocks", I wasn't totally sure what we ended up with, but he seems to be improving, has a great sense of humor, and is obviously working at it or he wouldn't be improving.

He is going to be something else if he keeps getting better.
