Jason Garrett, who is entering his first full season as the head coach of the Cowboys, has made it clear to his team that initiation rites that demean rookies aren't allowed. Hazing became an issue during training camp last year, when first-round pick Dez Bryant refused to carry the since-released veteran Roy Williams' shoulder pads. However, Garrett said his policy isn't a reaction to the incident that sparked a media circus last summer. "It's just something I believe in and we believe in as a staff," Garrett said. "The young guys are part of our football team. They certainly need to get themselves acclimated in a lot of different ways, and our veteran players are in charge of welcoming them to the NFL in a real positive way. "Also, there are some other things that go with that, but there's not going to be anything that's demeaning in any way that a rookie has to do. We just don't believe in that."
