FRISCO, Texas – There are no pads. There is obviously no contact.

But make no mistake, the Cowboys held their first practice of the offseason Friday as the team started its three-day rookie minicamp inside of Ford Center at The Star.

In all, 30 players were on the field, stemming from the eight draft picks, 13 undrafted rookies, eight first-year players who were either on the practice squad last year or without a team last season, and then two more players on a tryout basis.

Second-round pick Trysten Hill, a defensive tackle from UCF garnered a lot of the attention. Wearing No. 79 – a number he said he wouldn't mind switching to get into the 90s at some point – Hill worked on individual drills with defensive line coach Leon Lett as well as veteran defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.

The focus was also on the running backs, as the Cowboys drafted both Tony Pollard (fourth round from Memphis) and Mike Weber, who was a college teammate of Ezekiel Elliott for one year at Ohio State.

The Cowboys held a short 45-minute walk-through practice Friday morning and will take the field again later in the day for another practice.

The schedule will be the same on Saturday and then abbreviated practices on Sunday.
