For a guy who is already under scrutiny for his supposed inability to show up to meetings and practices on time, the deal with Deion, and now he forgets his cleats to his private workout, Dez is hurting himself.
Dez Bryant forgot his cleats
Posted by Mike Florio on March 30, 2010 3:01 PM ET
As it turns out, Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant showed up on time for his Pro Day workout.
His cleats, however, didn't make the trip.
We're told that Bryant forgot to bring his cleats, and that as a result he had to wear a pair of brand-new shoes, which had not properly been broken in.
As a result, Bryant was slipping, as NFLN's Mike Mayock pointed out when discussing the workout on the air.
Per a league source, at least one team measured Bryant's times in the 40-yard dash at 4.57 and 4.62 seconds, within the 4.52 to 4.68 range reported by NFL.com. He presumably would have run faster, but for the slipping.

A lot of things would have been different if he would have just
1- Never associated with Deion Sanders
2- Never lied to the NCAA
3- Never left Stillwater to train on his own
Everything that's happened since the Deion Sanders relationship hasn't really been a good thing. About all that's been good was getting a major endorsement deal with Under Armour, which featured him in a national campaign. Everything else? blowing raspberries.

According to orangepower none of this is relevant because Dez is the biggest, fastest, quickest accelerating, sure-handed, most athletic WR with the most YAC in the draft. So he has that going for him.

Anyone ever heard how AD goes through sometimes 2 or 3 pairs of new cleats in one game? I don't see him slipping every time he tries to run......
The 1st round of the 2010 NFL draft is thin on offense. Dez is the only projected WR so Orangepower is probably right this time. Dez can get away with being a little squirrly for now and it may not cost him too much money in lost draft position. He will have to prove it on the field once he finds his cleats but that won't happen for while.

He likes them to be stiff which in turn helps his ability to cut and so forth

Not only that, but they blame the big, bad media for trying to bring Dez down because, you know, OSU is so damn important that that's all the media thinks about.
My prediction: Bryant is a holdout come training camp, then turns out to be a bust, kind of like the great Woods brothers and superman Adarius Bowman.

Dez is an idiot
1. all the stuff mentioned already about his cleats and stuff
2. having bobby reid throwing him passes probably done as a slap in the face to the osu program to go along with his refusal to allow them to help him with his workouts
3. his current relationship with pacman jones...

Heh.
“What do this got to do with me playing football? Even if I did forget my cleats, what do that have to do with me playing football? I don’t think it has anything to do with me playing football.”

Not exactly. Dez's workout was done by himself, at his own field, on his own terms. Kelly was expecting to run in Mosier, instead the scouts requested they run in Everest. So the unpreparedness was a little more forgivable.

Dez Bryant fires back at critics and the English language
Mar 31st, 2010 by Micah Warren
Oklahoma St. WR Dez Bryant has been called by some experts the best WR prospect to come out since Calvin Johnson in 2007. But there have also been questions about his desire to play football, with some reports claiming that he showed up late to games and forgot his cleats at his Pro Day recently.
Well, Dez has had enough, and he tells the AP that he’s going to prove a lot of people wrong. And he does so while not-so-subtly butchering the living hell out of the King’s English.
“I’m not the type of person that will try to confront somebody but now I feel like it’s gone too far. It’s gone too far,” Bryant said. “I ain’t never got in trouble with nobody. I never said anything. I don’t say anything wrong to nobody. I’m friendly. This here is too far.
“What do this got to do with me playing football? Even if I did forget my cleats, what do that have to do with me playing football? I don’t think it has anything to do with me playing football.”
We like that he has a chip on his shoulder and wants to get out there and prove people wrong. It seems like he could be an elite player. But that doesn’t mean that the president of Oklahoma State University is excited about reading these quotes. We’ve heard bad grammar, but he’s pretty far from putting a proper sentence together.
“What is this? Y’all don’t want me to go to the NFL or something? It’s going to happen,” Bryant said. “It is going to happen. God blessed me to have this ability to play this game.
“I haven’t did anything wrong to nobody.”
No you haven’t. And you are well within your rights to bust your rear end and go prove all these “experts” wrong. But please, the grammar?
“I don’t look for trouble. I don’t find trouble or none of that stuff. I’m not a troublemaker,” Bryant said. “Just because I’ve experienced bad things, that don’t make me no bad person. That don’t make my mom a bad person. My mom overcame a lot of adversity just as well as I have.”
We don’t think Bryant is a bad kid. Lazy and not always diligent? Perhaps, but we don’t know for sure. The only thing we know for sure is that Bryant should be glad that the NFL involves playing football and not writing essays.

i don't know if he will get drafted, but he's made the most of these workouts...The guy has the all the physical tools for sure...He has recovered from the ACL injury and has always had a live arm..I just don't think he is mentally tough enough

But this is a "backup quarterback draft", so he has that going for him
From what I have seen he can only do two things well. Catch the ball and run down the field.

TO at least waited until he had some credibility before acting like a total head case. Too many of these college receivers come in as head cases. Reminds me of a quote that I heard somewhere by an ex lineman, the further they are away from the ball the louder they chirp.

In the fine tradition of Tinker Bell, maybe he can go through the halls of the hotel, find some luggage sitting outside a door and steal some cleats out said luggage. When he is caught with them it will, of course, be a fluke accident.
I can't wait to see an NFL defense take a couple shots at him and we will see just how cool he really is. LOL!
