I seriously doubt the Cowboys are interested but consider this:
6'2.5" 229 4.51 40
Former RB
I hear him mentioned most often in the 3rd round (sitting out 2010 probably drops him at least a round, otherwise he may have been considered 1st or 2nd rd).
I think he is the 4th best WR in this year's draft.
Imagine lining him up on passing downs in the X.
Austin in the slot like last year.
Bryant moves to the Y. They used Bryant down the field a lot last year--like you would expect from the Y (just a different side of the field).
Use Little like Terrell Owens: Slants, drags, picks across the middle with Austin or Witten. Even reset Witten to the left, and back Little off the line for WR screens. [You could use ANY of these guys for big play WR screens.]
Little is hard to get to the ground, doesn't shy away from contact, and will outweigh most corners by 35-40 pounds. Austin and Bryant may already be the two hardest WRs in the league to tackle.
Most teams have one or more CBs who aren't particularly good tacklers. Run pick plays, and hit whichever receiver pops. Make them tackle these beasts. I have to think opposing DCs would clench up every time we completed a pass to one of these WRs.
We also would have one more strong running option on reverses.
Not to mention he would provide a good backup plan if Bryant implodes.
