UFL has a little Cowboy flavor

The upstart pro football league held its draft last night, and several players who have worn the star on their helmet were picked. RB Tyson Thompson, the Irving native with great speed and not-so-great elusiveness, went to Las Vegas. Brooks Bollinger, the QB who was promoted to second-string over Brad Johnson in the middle of last season, was picked by Orlando. One of Bollinger's blockers will be OT Rob Petitti, a starter as a rookie in his only season as a Cowboy. Really hardcore fans will recognize the names of these ex-Cowboy training campers turned UFL draftees: FB Ronnie Cruz, WR Joe West and OT Cory Lekkerkerker.
