Make no mistake, when a team drafts a quarterback on the second day of the event, they are hoping he can be something. Not planning on it. When the New England Patriots selected Tom Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 draft, they weren't expecting the former Michigan quarterback to turn into a three-time Super Bowl winner and possible Hall of Famer.
"Tom Brady is a guy I've thought a lot about," said Nealy, who attended Adamson High School in Dallas. "If he can do it, I can do it."
And if the Patriots can do it, the Cowboys can do it. Maybe. Possibly. Even if the odds say they probably won't. But right now this appears to be the plan.
