IRVING - Running back Troy Hambrick was given the opportunity he always wanted when the Cowboys released Emmitt Smith in February.
Now he just has to stop eating.
Hambrick, Smith's backup the past two seasons and the heir apparent to the starting job, ballooned to 260 pounds in March before dropping 10 pounds. Coach Bill Parcells has ordered him to get to 240 or less by the time training camp opens July 26.
"I feel like a fat boy," Hambrick said between two-a-day minicamp practices Wednesday. "I can't seem to come out of my breaks quick enough. I've got to get under 240 pounds. That's where he wants me to be, and I've got to give it to him."
Hambrick, who blamed his added weight on "momma's cooking," said, "I think I am going to put a couple of plates [aside]. I hate to have to do it, because I love to eat."
