When it's time to celebrate, Dallas Cowboys fans "throw up the X."

That's what 11-year-old Nihar Jenga did when he was crowned Scripps National Spelling Bee co-champion last month.

It caught the attention of the originator of the X, Dez Bryant.

The Austin, Texas native got an invite to meet No. 88 and the Dallas Cowboys this week at minicamp.
