So we do have Chauncey Gholston on the line. Edge Rusher out of Iowa knew was Dallas Cowboy. Chauncey, First off, congratulations, just kind of explain what this moment is like for you. This is, oh my god, life changing moment right here. I don't even know how. It's kind of hard to put it into words. Really really really just grateful, really grateful. Man. Hey, congrats Chauncey. We heard the secret audio of you talking to Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy. It sounded like you
almost hung up on Jerry. Were you just like trying to go, you know, party with your family. No, it wasn't that I was about to hang up. It was just like I was, I was lost the words. I'm like, I trained down there in Dallas, like for my my product training, and like I've seen a lot of like uh commercials with Jerry Jones on it, and just to like hear him on the phone, I was, I was lost the words. So I wasn't about to hang up.
I just didn't know what to say. Honestly, Hey, Chauncey, we we saw you down there at the Senior Bowl and getting some opportunities can you talk about that experience for you and how it helped you? You know, you're getting in front of those eyes, the scouts, the coaches, gyms and stuff like. Talk about your Senior Bowl experience and how it helps you there. Okay, So, like I'm this is high. Went so our very first day like
of position meetings. I saw that there was like nine defensive ends and two defensive tackles, and I'm like, these are all really good players. How could fight for a few reps at in or I can get maximum exposure at defensive tackles? So you know, I went in there told my d line coach at Iowa, coach Calvin Bill, that I'm gonna be h taking a lot of reps at defensive tackle to get in front of as many coaches as I possibly could. And well, like I guess it paid off right now. So what was your what
was your contact like with the Cowboys? Did you know that this this possibility was out there? I didn't. I didn't know, honestly, and I would. I was just ready to give him my off to whatever team drafting me. Where do you think your role is gonna be in this defense? Here? If you had to guess I don't know if you've had a chance to talk with your defensive coordinator yet, but just in your thought process and what you know about the Cowboys, where do you think
you'll fit in? UM, I'm just trying to for I'm trying to provide wherever I can, honestly, wherever I can, no matter inside, outside, wherever, wherever they need me, I'm there for it. But damn it, Chauncey, you sound like a perfect teammate. I'm excited. Hey, Chauncey, really just just at a UM kind of a stabbing that did you go to You went to cast Tech in Detroit? Right? No? No, no, no, no, no, I got that wrong. I'm I'm sorry. No, but Jordan,
Jordan Lewis. That's why. That's actually why I brought it up. I knew Jordan went to CASS. I was wondering, if you know, I'm not No, he went, he went to the cast I went to these English. Is there a rivalry between those two? Yeah? Yeah, it used to be used to be something like that. So high school. So do you know Jordan at all? Again, That's the main reason I asked. I'm just wondering, if we don't have we don't have a personal relationship, but I know of him.
You know, I try to keep up with any guy that makes it out of the city absolutely well. I'm I have a feeling you'll be meeting him before too long, So welcome aboard man. Glad to have you, but you appreciate you taking some time with us. Chauncey, go celebrate, congratulations. We look forward to seeing you here in Frisco. Thank you.
