Super Bowl predictions, tattoos and believing in the impossible: Ryan Switzer's path to the Cowboys
Posted May 23, 2017
Ryan Switzer's father was working upstairs in his home office on April 29 when his son received a call from the Dallas Cowboys. By the time the father made it downstairs, Ryan was having a conversation with Jerry Jones. The Cowboys were making Ryan the 133rd overall pick in the NFL draft. "The first words out of my mouth were, 'We're going to the freaking Super Bowl,'" said his father, Michael.
