IRVING, Texas – It’s going to be an interesting season for Dez Bryant.
If you’re reading this website, I doubt I need to spell it all out for you, but here’s a refresher: after showing immediate – if inconsistent – promise as a young first-round draft pick, Bryant blossomed into one of the NFL’s most electrifying playmakers over the past four years.
At the age of just 26, Bryant established himself as one of the NFL’s top receivers, took center stage in one of the most controversial plays in playoff history and signed a $70 million contract.
As brightly as his star shined, it feels a bit like ancient history given the way that injuries robbed him of the vast majority of his 2015 campaign. It’s a testament to the “what have you done for me lately?” nature of the NFL that one year after being toasted as one of the faces of the league, the national narrative is now about whether Bryant can regain his old form.
Ask Dez about that narrative and he’ll surely scoff. He’s adamant that he hasn’t lost a step, and he’s impatient to prove that point. He’ll have his chance, as he’s expected to be fully healthy and ready for the start of training camp.
While we’re waiting, I decided to use my downtime to embark on a grand adventure – a refresher course, if you will. I wanted to watch every single touchdown that Dez Bryant has ever scored for the Dallas Cowboys – 61 in total – and see how they measure up.
This isn’t some half-hearted top 10 list, or another dissection of the controversial non-catch in Green Bay. In the next week, you’ll see all 61 of Bryant’s scores, from the most impressive to the most mundane – and I guarantee you’ll see plenty you had forgotten about.
So anyway. Now that I’ve rambled, let’s watch Dez do some Dez Things – from worst to first.
This should be a great series from Tiny Jim
