Bittersweet day for Cowboys Draft Pick Robert Brewster

He always imagined the day he signed his first NFL contract as one of being extreme joy but today was a bittersweet for Cowboys third round draft pick Robert Brewster.  Happy because he finally signed his deal but disappointed because an injury will force him to miss all of his rookie season.

Brewster tore a pectoral muscle in the weight room after mini-camp in June and had to have surgery to repair it which will take the entire season to heal.  Right after the Cowboys signed him today, they put him on the physically unable to perform list.  He was the last of the 12 draft picks to come to terms with the team. 

Brewster never missed a game at Ball State where he won MAC Conference honors for his work on the offensive line.  He spent the off season backing up Marc Columbo at right tackle.
