The newest player for the Dallas Cowboys isn't actually named "taco", but he can now eat until he actually turns into one.

In a surprise move, the team selected defensive end Taco Charlton out of Michigan as their new impact pass rusher -- sending many to doubt the pick before the first snap is taken. Not everyone is a detractor, however, as many are welcoming the Pickerton, OH native to the Cowboys with open arms.

One local restaurant even took it one step further and welcomed him with an open invitation to never stop enjoying the food he's was so lovingly named after by his late grandmother.

Charlton, whose real name is Vidauntae, joins the Cowboys with high hopes of proving all of his doubters wrong.

And now he can do so with a belly full of Tex-Mex greatness. That is as long as he stays in shape and ready to play, lest he go the way of Seattle Seahawks' running back Eddie Lacy.
