Dez’s Draft Stock Remains High
No freedom for Dez

So Dez is done.
Pretty sad, really, as the Cowboys have been robbed of one of the most dynamic players in program history. Seriously, Bryant was a rare talent, ranking in an elite club of former Cowboys who could dazzle us on the football field.
I think that we’ll be dazzled at the next level, too.
And now it’s on to the NFL for Bryant, according to his high school coach, John Outlaw, who reported to The Oklahoman that Dez was headed to Tampa to get himself ready for the combine.
As bad as this is for Dez — he really loved playing at OSU — the good news is his draft stock won’t take a hit because of his mis-step with the truth to the NCAA.
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper ranks Bryant No. 10 on his big board; the No. 1 wide receiver overall. Kiper recently addressed Bryant’s situation, saying his college problem “won’t hurt his stock one bit.”
