dolphann4life Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/30/dez-bryant-forgot-his-cleats/ 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. Ok this guy has to know all the talk of him being a risk and on the most important day of his life from a business standpoint, he has a chance to showcase his talents and he forgets to bring his cleats? This guy is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphann4life Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 More about Dez Bryant's Pro Day Bryant has so-so workout Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 30, 2010 2:05 PM ET Maybe you can scratch Dez Bryant off the Raiders' wish list after all. Bryant ran the forty in 4.52, 4.68, and 4.52, according to NFL.com. Bryant was asked to run a third time because of the discrepancy in the times. He jumped 38 inches on his vertical leap and jumped over eleven feet on his broad jump, which is a huge number. He wasn't able to finish the three-cone drill and short shuttle, which perhaps indicates a lack of work preparing for the pro day. His hands reportedly looked good. Mike Mayock said he was surprised by the slow forty times. He appears to play faster on tape. The problem for Bryant is that Adam Schefter tweeted that Bryant ran a 4.32 last week, creating high expectations. Larry Fitzgerald ran a similar time a few years ago, but didn't have the same off-field concerns. Mayock said "more questions than answers" came out of the workout.

abyzmul Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 He forgot his cleats, so he ran a slow 40. I got a feeling this guy's going to be around when we pick. I got a feeling that the 'forgot my cleats' excuse is probably a result of Dez Bryant running slow 40s before his Pro Day, and now he's trying to salvage his draft value. I still doubt he's there at 29, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjakecity Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Forgetting his cleats should be reason enough to drop him ten or more spots on the count of stupidity. Millions of dollars at stake and you forget your cleats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Good. Maybe he'll slide to 29. He could be Randy Moss or he could be Mike Williams. At 29, it's worth taking a shot to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachelors3 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So which of you would take this guyat 29 if he falls and I think he will. I wonder if his character is equally as bad as his memory!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Not sure of the story, but maybe he was under the impression that he wouldn't be running the 40?? Doubtful, but maybe he just didn't plan on it. I remember a few years ago when Calvin Johnson was at the combine, he didn't plan on running the 40 and than borrowed a buddy's cleats and ran his 4.3 40. If I recall, there were some rumors initialy that he forgot his cleats, but than the real report came out. So I dunno, ya it shows lackadaisicalness, but it's hardly something that takes away from his absolutely elite game tape. One side of the argument is on the most important day of your life, you shouldn't forget anything, which I agree with. The other hand, on the most important day of his life, he could be insanely nervous or just flat out absent minded. I remember on the day of my MCATs I almost forgot my ID...so, bottom line I guess, is that it's hardly a deal breaker to me and I could think of a dozen things worse than forgetting his cleats. And as for his dedication to the sport, he's kept himself in impeccable condition and hasn't let himself go, so there's clearly some dedication there.

Damaged89 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I read somewhere that he's much more of a goofball than a thug. The dude has been compared to Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson.. I would take a flier on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 it's such a BS thing to say... could you imagine telling the Tuna or Holmgren or some other grumpy power broker stuck in Lufton Ok that you forgot your shoes? it would be one thing is this were the only incident this is a trend Bryant hasn't played football since the 3rd week in September. He's been suspended all year. He didn't run at Indy. He moved his pro day. He showed up at Pac Man's pro day... and now he forgot his shoes. long story short the internetz has alot more sympathy for the "i forgot my shoes" routine than the NFL is going to be.

Ace21Black Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 He made a mistake, you act like you have never forgotten anything in your life. This mistake is equivalent to forgetting a pencil for your SAT's... The charts for your big presentation at work... Your helmet on your motorcycle... Your cup for your boxing match... The combine is the most important day of any collegiate player, and for him to forget the most essential item needed is a HUGE red flag... IRRESPONSIBLE... Even if he turns out to be a great pro, whatever... The man hangs out with Pac Man Jones...that alone is a HUGE red flag... What happens when he forgets his playbook? Or forgets to run a certain pattern, then causing an INT, then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua4ever04 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It is 100% drop dead pure comedic gold to see people calling him an "idiot." Haha, seriously, it's pathetic. How does that make him an idiot? Every time you forget your phone or your keys or your butt plug or what the **** ever it is you guys carry around with you, I hope someone is there to remind you how stupid you are. He's got Terrell Owens type of talent so I hope we take this "idiot" at pick 12 so he can torch Revis for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Twenty teams expected to attend today's workout for Oklahoma St. WR Dez Bryant. Last week, Bryant clocked a 4.32 in the 40-yard dash. http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter/status/11310103323 Dude's a beast and a top 5 prospect in this draft.

CoachTsurfing Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 agreed, he won't be there for us. and I do think the phins are going to look at wr hard or replacement for taylor if they don't resign him. If he did happen to fall waaaay down to us, as much I don't care for him as a player, I'd say you have to take a risk and take him. As for him forgetting his cleats. yes, I've forgotten plenty of things. but not the most important thing on the most important days of my life. i don't think he's a thug or idiot. just a little absent minded.
