There was a time when Dez Bryant was in the conversation as the best Wide Receiver in the National Football League.
A native Texan, Bryant played his college ball at Oklahoma State, and he was a First Rounder in 2010, returning to Texas to play for the Dallas Cowboys. An All-Rookie with 561 Yards, Bryant broke out in 2012 with 1,382 Receiving Yards and 12 Touchdowns. He would have at least 1,200 Yards in the next two years, with both campaigns earning a spot in the Pro Bowl, and in 2014 he was a First Team All-Pro and the league-leader in Receiving Touchdowns with 16.
The Wide Receiver began to suffer injuries and his four-digit yardage days were over. Bryant played three more seasons with Dallas but was unable to land with any other squad for two years, save for a brief comeback with Baltimore in 2020.
He would leave the NFL with good overall numbers, 7,506 Yards, and 75 Touchdowns, but Bryant's career feels like more of "what could have been."
An All-American from Oklahoma State, Dez Bryant had a nice rookie season in 2010, where as an All-Rookie, he had 561 Receiving Yards with another 508 Yards via returns. Bryant would move towards just receiving, which was the better move for him, as would be shown by his increased production in the air.
