Cowboys draftee Gregory gets tattoo to commemorate selection

Not that he needs the extra reminder, but Randy Gregory made sure he won't forget his draft destination any time soon.

Gregory, who the Cowboys selected No. 60 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft last Friday night, took to his Twitter account Tuesday morning to show off a new tattoo in honor of his selection.

"Its beginning of something good! This journey is a marathon, not a sprint!" Gregory said in the tweet.

The Nebraska pass rusher was widely considered a top-10 talent this year, but a history of failed drug tests pushed him all the way to the tail end of the second-round. At that value, the Cowboys decided he was clearly worth the risk and made him the second member of their 2015 draft class.

For his part, Gregory has been very vocal in his appreciation toward the Cowboys since being selected.

The team's rookie minicamp begins later this week, and Gregory will be charged with helping to improve a pass rush that finished near the bottom of the NFL in sacks.
