Dallas Cowboys are using a drone to record practice

The Dallas Cowboys have decided to use a drone to record their rookie minicamp, and have brought the league further in terms of new, useless technology.

The NFL is beginning to enter “brave new world” territory.

In order for Jerry Jones to more closely monitor the happenings of the Dallas Cowboys rookie minicamp from the safety and luxury of his underwater lair, the Cowboys are using some modern recording technology.

Hopefully it also has a two way radio transceiver; that way in Jones’ absence the drone can speak with the same authority. That way his

players can take his instructions from a mechanical dragon hovering in the air. Plus, depending on the power of the drone to fly to D.C., he can drop water balloons onto Daniel Snyder from above.

The Cowboys are interested in implementing the most sci-fi way to record their practices, no matter how impractical. That being said, if the drones give them better footage with which to study, then it would be silly to even question it in the first place.

It should help them keep an eye out on their rather incredible rookie class. The Cowboys were able to land three first round talents in Byron Jones, Randy Gregory and La’el Collins. Both Gregory and Collins have red flags surrounding them, so perhaps a Jerry-Drone is the best way to keep the team in line.

Of course if it does catch on (which it will; I’m looking at you Mr. Kelly), then it only becomes a matter of time before the league finds a way to abuse the technology. Bill Belichick is likely to try to use it during the real games.
