Veteran tight end Dalton Schultz spent the first few seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys. But he’s now with the Houston Texans, and it sure sounds like he’s happy about the change in scenery.
During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show expressed how much he enjoys playing in Houston where the “focus is just on football” compared to Dallas which he called our as being “literally a zoo,” revealing a shocking truth about the way the practice facilities operate.
“There’s people literally going on tours while you’re lifting in the weight room. They’ve got a one-way mirror for people to look in. It’s literally a zoo,” Schultz said of Dallas on the show, according to Pro Football Talk. “There’s people tapping on the glass, trying to get people’s attention while they’re doing power cleans or whatever. It’s different. That’s the brand that they’ve built, that’s what Jerry Jones likes, that’s the way they run things, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just you don’t realize how many eyeballs and how much that can maybe distract from stuff in the locker room being in the facility, until you go somewhere else and you’re like, ‘Holy crap, there’s none of that.’”
There are obviously perks to playing for a team with such a prominent fanbase and a lot of attention, but Schultz seems to be enjoying the perks of playing for a much quieter team, as well.
