Radio row at the Super Bowl is a great time to reconnect with NFL players past (retired legends), present (current players) and future (players entering the NFL Draft ).
One of the current players making his way through radio row in Las Vegas was Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard , who earned his first career Pro Bowl nod in 2022 and is coming off of consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Naturally, he was bound to be asked his opinion about who the next defensive coordinator of his Cowboys should be given the NFC East rival Washington Commanders hired Dan Quinn to be their new head coach on Feb. 3 .
Yet, when being asked about Quinn’s potential successor, Pollard admitted Wednesday was when he was first learning of the coach’s departure.
“You know it’s crazy,” Pollard said with a smile and laugh Wednesday on “The Pat McAfee Show” along the Super Bowl’s Radio Row in Las Vegas. “I had been off of social media. I got rid of Instagram midway through the season. Being a Cowboy you have to find ways to keep your mental on point. I just found out right now [that Quinn is now the Commanders head coach].”
