Bryant is big time for Cowboys
Dez Bryant bounced around the Boone Pickens Stadium turf looking for someone to chest bump.
A touchdown celebration?
Not this past weekend.
Watch my latest video commentary or continue reading below:
The Oklahoma State receiver didn’t manage a touchdown catch. Heck, he didn’t have one single, solitary catch all day. Against Missouri State, the Cowboys didn’t need to throw the ball to win by 40-plus.
And yet, Bryant was the picture of happiness. He celebrated with teammates. He cheered. He hollered.
Bryant is big time.
We already had evidence that backed that up. Bryant caught 43 passes for 622 yards and six touchdowns last season as a true freshman. And he did so despite playing second fiddle to Adarius Bowman.
Through two games this season, he already had 16 catches for 326 yards and three touchdowns.
Those numbers held steady after the Cowboys’ third game. And still, Bryant looked Saturday like he’d caught 10 passes instead of none.
That’s good news for the Cowboys.
Why?
Because their best player isn’t a prima donna. He’s the opposite of that. He’s a team player. Bryant isn’t consumed with how many catches he has or how many touchdowns he scores. As long as the team’s winning, he’s happy.
How else to explain his exuberance Saturday afternoon?
Now if the Cowboys start struggling and he’s not catching anything, things might change. Things should change. Bryant is the best player on the OSU roster; he needs to have the ball in his hands. But on Saturday, he didn’t need to and he didn’t sweat it.
Bryant was actually one of the last players off the field. He high-fived every hand and signed every autograph. He smiled all the way to the locker room.
This guy is big-time, and his abilities are only part of the reason.
