Cowboys star Leighton Vander Esch wears a wolf (yes, really) in Instagram photo
The “Wolf Howl” may be new, but Leighton Vander Esch has always been the “Wolf Hunter.”
The nickname was given to him by teammates. And it fits, considering he’s a regular hunter of wolves in his home state of Idaho.
And now he has the pelt to prove it.
“I got so hyped when Leighton got the tackle and he did the wolf howl,” Ezekiel Elliott said after Thursday’s win over the Saints. “It gave me chills, man. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up.”
