Abandoned storage unit could have ties to a Dallas Cowboys player

A TikToker's lucrative storage unit finds appear to have a Dallas Cowboys connection.

The big picture: Storage facilities often auction abandoned units , letting the new owner take possession of the contents inside.

• TikToker Vincent Broadway paid $1,880 for a Michigan storage locker that he says is "one of the craziest storages I've ever purchased."

The intrigue: Broadway doesn't name the previous owner of the locker, but says he was a first-round NFL draft pick in 2023 and has a University of Michigan connection.

• Those hints led viewers to Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith , who played at Michigan and was drafted by Dallas in the first round of the NFL draft in 2023.

What was inside: The locker included player-exclusive cleats worth hundreds of dollars each, a Louis Vuitton toiletry bag, boxes of Legos and a giant gun safe.

• Broadway also found rare Michigan Wolverine Air Jordan shoes, Travis Scott x Air Jordan Lows and expensive clothing .
• "For those of you wondering how much I think all the shoes are worth, I have no idea. Maybe $20,000? Maybe more?" he said on TikTok.
