New Cowboys defensive end and 2017 first-round pick Taco Charlton's real first name is, of course, not actually Taco. It's Vidauntae. Taco was a nickname given to him by his mother and grandmother prior to birth, and it's stuck through the first 22 years of his life. 

Here's the explanation, courtesy of his mother, Tamara Charlton:

It's pretty fitting that Taco is headed down to Texas, because they do make some tacos down there. Charlton's excited to get his hands on the selection -- and not just because of the advertising potential. 

He declined to pick a favorite taco, noting instead, "I just feel like if you've got a taco, you can't go wrong."
