IRVING, Texas (AP) -Bryan McCann wasn’t invited to the NFL’s pre-draft combine and wasn’t drafted.
The Dallas Cowboys had him all preseason, then cut him. The Baltimore Ravens picked him up, made him inactive for the opener, then sent him on his way.
At the start of this month, he hadn’t played in an NFL game.
Good thing McCann remained confident. Because now the rookie cornerback has a nifty slice of NFL history, back-to-back NFC player of the week awards and is a big part of the Cowboys’ recent surge under interim coach Jason Garrett.
All it took was returning an interception 101 yards for a touchdown two weeks ago and following it up by grabbing a swatted punt and returning it 97 yards for another touchdown this past weekend.
