If Dez Bryant makes headlines on the field like he does off he's in line for a hall of fame career. The Cowboys rookie wide receiver grabbed attention again today after refusing to carry fellow wideout Roy Williams's pads after practice, a common rookie hazing ritual and team building exercise. Williams was displeased by Bryant and has threatened to take this issue to "step two", which when asked he replied that he did not know but mentioned that "I've seen guys take people's credit cards and fill them up."
This comes just months after he told reporters that the Miami Dolphins had asked if his mom was a prostitute, but when the context of the questioning came into play the accusations were shrugged off.
Dez Bryant: "My dad was a pimp."
Jeff Ireland: "What did your mom do [for a living]?"
Bryant: "She worked for my dad."
Ireland: "Your mom was a prostitute?"
Bryant: "No, she wasn't a prostitute."
After a spectacular sophomore season at Oklahoma State University, Bryant had spent the last year sitting out after violating NCAA rules by failing to disclose a relationship with Deon Sanders. Dallas selected him with the #24 overall pick in the 2010 draft. He will wear Cowboy's legend Michael Irvin's #88, a fitting tribute considering the immense talent both had and the off field headlines both had made.
