Since high school, Dez Bryant has always been immensely talented. But it hasn’t always been easy for Bryant to live up to his god-gifted athleticism. When the Dallas Cowboys traded up for Bryant in 2010 draft, most people including hall of fame receiver Michael Irvin, were saying that Jerry Jones finally got his “Randy Moss.” And after being endorsed by Irvin in Dallas, expectations were sky-high for Bryant.
In his first two years of his career, Bryant did not disappoint. He showed off his physical dominance and showed the potential that someday he could take over the league and have his named mentioned with some of the best receivers. Bryant scored 17 touchdowns in his first 27 games and provided a spark to a dead 1-7 team in 2010. Bryant became the most exciting player on the field and it sure looked like Dallas stole Bryant at in the middle of the first round.
Fast-forward to 2012, in which many people were predicting the breakout season for Bryant. Now in his third year, most fans and the NFL media was expecting a Calvin Johnson-esque season from Bryant statistically. But Bryant struggled mightily early on and then the cross-roads of Dez Bryant’s career happened in 2012 on a Monday night versus the Chicago Bears. As NFL.com’s Kareem Copeland said, “It was the best bad game a player could have.” And I couldn’t have agreed more.
