It's good to be social.
If you want to be updated on things as quickly as possible, social media is for you. More than just social media, Twitter is the place where everything that happens is talked about in rapid fashion. It's not only for breaking news and instant reactions, however. It's for short takes that offer glimpses into the various facets that make up people's public lives. Now sometimes private lives get included in that view, but it's all about what you make of the experience. There are people who "Twitter" incorrectly, assuming that one snippet seen is the end-all be-all of the tweeter, but most people take the medium for what it's worth.
With all that said, Twitter is fun! It's fun to follow your favorite players and get their takes on what's happening in the world around them. As such, I figured that you'd appreciate knowing how to follow and reach out to the newest members of the team, the 2014 Draft Class.
Here's a list of the players and links to their twitter handles.

Now, I can't tell you how to act while on Twitter, but if you were to respectfully welcome each player to the Cowboys AND tell them about how great @BloggingTheBoys is for Cowboys coverage... I'm not going to be mad at you one bit.
While we're speaking of BTB, make sure you're following each of our front page writers. We often have some great in-depth Cowboys discussions that never make their way onto the blog.

Folks, the Cowboys didn't make any mistakes about players that are now UDFAs that the other 31 teams in the draft didn't also make.

Rod Marinelli is one cool cat: Talking to Ben Gardner, asks, "What's your major? Is it something real big and I won't know how to spell it?"

After the return of dude still trying to convince me a draft selection doesn't inherently "use" one draft pick; I'm done for the evening.

The GWOD will face Quinn-Brockers-Donald-Long and then 2 weeks later take on Watt-Nix-Clowney

I have nothing on Anthony Hitchens, nothing... going to the library... give me a minute

@MockingTheDraft A team from the NFC West can pick The Water Boy. Everyone would say it was a great pick. Smh

I'm going Martin over JFF, but really would rather trade back, if I was in charge

It's so hard to put Rams colors on Aaron Donald's cell in my Google Doc... I knew it was a reach to think he'd make it to us but... Le Sigh.
— Blogging The Boys (@BloggingTheBoys) May 9, 2014
Sammy Watkins got that "OK, 5 year deal, lemme do this like Marshawn Lynch" kind of Buffalo enthusiasm in his face.
— Blogging The Boys (@BloggingTheBoys) May 9, 2014
lmao- The internet is relentless... that photo of JFF drinking a beer was photoshopped.
