The Dallas Cowboys made an impressive Day 2 haul in the NFL Draft, selecting Boston College defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and East Carolina defensive back Shevon Revell to bolster the defense.

While Ezeiruaku has yet to play a down for Dallas, he is already embracing an NFC East rivalry.

Ezeiruaku, who was born in Philadelphia and grew up as an Eagles fan, revealed some people at his draft party were still repping Eagles gear when his name was called by the Cowboys.

He then asked the partygoers to ditch the Eagles gear after finding his new home.

"I'm here right now [in Jersey] celebrating at a country club, and it's some people here with Eagles gear on. I said, 'Go ahead and take that off right now,'" Ezeiruaku said after being selected, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys official website.

He also cracked a joke about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl last season, saying it was a nice sendoff in his final year as a fan.

"That was cool in my last year as an Eagles fan." he said.

Pairing Ezeiruaku with Micah Parsons, another former Eagles fan, gives the Cowboys a potentially game-wrecking pass rushing duo.

During his final season at Boston College, Ezeiruaku recorded 80 tackles, 21 tackles for a loss, a whopping 16.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles.
