BEREA, Ohio (AP) LeBron James could be getting some pressure to change his NFL colors.

A die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, James is feeling really good about his team's 5-1 record. The Cavaliers' superstar posted a photo on his Instagram account Monday of him beaming a wide smile while wearing a Cowboys sweatshirt and cap.

Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer said he understands James' loyalties.

''He's a year older than me, the Browns left when he was a kid, too,'' said Hoyer, referring to the Browns' move to Baltimore in 1995. ''You have to cheer for someone.''

Hoyer has the Browns off to a 3-2 start, and the local native thinks it might be good enough to convince King James to consider pulling for the brown and orange.

''Hopefully,'' Hoyer said with a smile, ''we can bring him around to it.''

James attended a Browns practice this summer with his sons.
