In a Thursday column by Berry Tramel of The Oklahoman (http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2012/07/19/dez-bryant-a-former-colleague-is-worried/), former NFL wide receiver Bryan Gilmore places some of that blame on former Cowboys cornerback Deion Sanders.
Gilmore, a Lufkin native like the Cowboys wide receiver, said he tried to act as a mentor to Bryant after meeting him as a high school senior. But that changed and the contact stopped after Bryant met Sanders during his time at Oklahoma State, according to Gilmore.
“If you want to call out someone, call out Deion Sanders,” Gilmore said. “He didn’t even call me after that. I personally tried to keep him away from that.”
“Nobody really knows that this kid has been like homeless,” said Gilmore, who stated that Bryant was living with a girlfriend’s uncle when the two met. ”Enough is enough. Somebody needs to intercede. I still love him and I’m praying for him. He really is a good kid. This is disturbing.”
