Cowboys news: Rookies impress Mike McCarthy on Day 1 of minicamp

Head coach Mike McCarthy like what he saw from the rookies during the first day of field work.

The crop of 20 rookies were joined by a handful of first-year veterans (players who spent last year only on the practice squad) and another rookie quarterback on a tryout basis.

All in all, it was definitely a start to the offseason practices, which will take place over the next month, including OTAs and one minicamp practice. After this weekend, the entire team is allowed to participate, but as for these first two days, it's all about the rookies.
