Best of luck Anthony, but unless you have access to a SkyHawk, rope, nylon, and magic markers, you're out of luck.

On the plus side, he didn't stand outside the last round of the draft with a sign that said "Above the Rest for Thousands Less."

Give Mr. Wallace credit for trying to get a shot. Unfortunately, if this technique proves successful it will set a dangerous precedent and the Cowboys wouldn't want to acknowledge that. Hopefully, someone there will be moved to at least review some film and look at his paper stats to see if he was somehow overlooked. I think they might view him as being undersized. I would guess his position coach was Cosh, so ...

Yes. Valley Ranch and Frisco are on the cusp of a real terror wave of large, grown men holding cardboard.

He needs a better sign....its all presentation.  Also, dress to impress....

He's wearing North Texas gear.

He IS dressed to impress.

Maybe if he tackles everyone who tries to enter the facility, he can rack up some stats that will get their attention.

If he were to get his opportunity and some how make the team, this would make a great Sports Illustrated story.

drop the headphones.  Couldn't hear if a coach was asking him to come in for a tryout.  Dig the UNT Logo, but needs to present like he is ready to hit the field.

Not going to happen. Sorry Anthony.

Good move by AW. He wants to be a coach/trainer. Now for the rest of his life he can tell his athletes that he loved his sport so much that he stood outside a NFL team's headquarters with a handwritten cardboard sign begging for an opportunity to keep playing football, so why aren't they giving more effort on that last set? It makes a fantastic story.

This is the smartest PR stunt by a UNT athlete since Johnny Quinn staged breaking through the bathroom wall at the Olympics. 

As a marketing alum at UNT, I am proud.

So so so sad.

I'll never fault a young man for trying to do anything he can to get a shot. I'm sure this is a humbling experience for him, but whether he gets it or not, no one can question his drive. Do your thing Mr. Wallace!
