Josh Carraway grew up a Cowboys fan, but the TCU defensive end is a bigger Mavericks fan.
“We used to go to Mavs games all the time, so I’m a huge Dirk [Nowitzki] fan,” Carraway said at the NFL Scouting Combine. “If I ever get a chance to meet Dirk, I’ll probably act like a little girl.”
Carraway’s father, Glenn, was on the first basketball team at UTSA. He averaged 2.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 40 games before leaving to play professionally in Mexico.
“He likes to pull his old newspapers from time to time and tell me about his skill set,” Carraway said.
