The third day of training camp practice is in the books for the Dallas Cowboys.

Once again, Dallas came out full of energy, which has become expected under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. What wasn’t expected was quarterback Dak Prescott going “full rodeo Cowboy.”

Once the practice began, the highlights kept coming. Below is a collection of the best from Thursday’s work.

Even before team drills began, George Pickens was turning heads. Here’s a video of him making a one-handed grab while running drills.

Deuce Is Loose

Running back Deuce Vaughn has been somewhat forgotten following all the changes in the backfield, but he’s made his presence known this week.

Here’s a look at him breaking off a huge run, which is becoming the norm this camp.

Matt Eberflus Influence

The defense had some fun as well, with Malik Hooker picking off Prescott — and doing so in style.

Hooker wasn’t the only defensive back making highlight-reel plays. Undrafted free agent Zion Childress picked off Joe Milton with one hand as well.

Rookie EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku stood out as he got a lot of time with the first team, and made the most of it.

Later in practice, Troy Pride broke up a pass intended for Parris Campbell, which would have been a touchdown.

Bazooka Joe Fires Back

Milton atoned for his earlier pick with a dart fit into a tight window, where he hit KaVontae Turpin.
