The seventh player chosen in the 2006 NFL Draft, Huff is a native of Irving, Texas, and an alumnus of the University of Texas. The former Thorpe Award winner calls Dallas home, and has been extremely forthcoming regarding his interest in playing for the Cowboys. Dallas passed on Bob Sanders and OJ Atogwe, who were free agents before the collective bargaining agreement expired. They then passed on the safety spot all together in the draft—selecting only cornerback, Joshua Thomas.
Rob Ryan was the defensive coordinator in Oakland when the Raiders drafted Huff. And, like seemingly everyone else in Dallas, sounded mostly disinterested with last weekend's proceedings. Perhaps Ryan is supremely overconfident in his abilities; so much so that he'd just as soon move forward with McCray and Barry Church. But, signs appear to be squarely positioned towards the All-Pro, Michael Huff. The problem is, with the free-agent signing period and the ability to move players on hold, teams like the Cardinals and Cowboys are essentially "all in."

With the NFL draft looming into its 62nd day, the rumor mills continue to feed the ears of Cowboy fans on how they will address their secondary issues. It's no secret that the Dallas Cowboys have major issues in their backfield. So as this lockout continues all fans can do is speculate, hope and pray for someone like Huff to put on that Dallas jersey when this is over; now its up to Jerry to answer all those prayers.
