Rookie offensive lineman Shiyazh Pete, the first player from the Navajo Nation to reach the NFL, stole the show in the Cowboys’ preseason win over the Cardinals — earning a standing ovation and emotional moments on and off the field. Playing just six snaps, Pete was overwhelmed by the support, including Navajo and Salish flags waving in the stands.
