Michael Sam Reacts To Becoming A Dallas Cowboy
Michael Sam has a few words to share about becoming a member of the Dallas Cowboys today.
Some had feared — or hoped — Michael Sam being cut from the Rams would be the last America would see of the defensive end. But this morning the Dallas Cowboys officially signed the 24-year old to their practice squad.
Sam took to Twitter to share some thoughts.
As a kid growing up in Texas I always loved the Dallas Cowboys, so to join this incredible organization is really a dream come true. (1/3)

I want to thank the Jones family, the entire Cowboys organization, and the city of Dallas for giving me this opportunity. (2/3)

I look forward to putting my helmet and pads on every day to work my hardest to help bring a sixth Super Bowl Championship to Dallas!! (3/3)
