Former Virginia safety Juan Thornhill did a nice job of shopping his services to the Dallas Cowboys.
Thornhill, one of the defensive backs at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, had a meeting with the Cowboys on Sunday night. He told Dallas Morning News reporter Jon Machota that the Cowboys wouldn’t regret it if they took him.
Virginia safety Juan Thornhill has a meeting scheduled with the Cowboys tonight. "Dallas wouldn't be upset if they drafted me." Why? "I'm a ballhawk. I had 13 career interceptions, 6 interceptions this year. With a guy like me, you'll definitely get the ball back to the offense."
