Dez Bryant: A Short Story

Dez Bryant was not at a loss for words yesterday. The Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver talked about some of the topics concerning his contract. Dez Bryant signed a 5 year, 70 million dollar contract on July 15 'th. Dez Bryant said this on Thursday.

“It’s no pressure, That deal don’t make me,” Bryant said. “I play this game because I love this game. I don’t give a damn about none of that. It’s not going to change the way I play. It’s not going to change the way I act. I’m here. Like, ‘thank you, I can go buy me a home and now I’m able to take care of my family.’ Yeah, I love that, but as far as me performing on the field, I take full pride in that.”

Dez Bryant also made clear that he would have missed real regular season games, He said.

“It would’ve killed me, but I stood by it. I had to.”

“You’ve got a lot of people saying a whole bunch of false,” Bryant said. “Now anyone can say anything they want to say about me. But if you don’t hear it from me it means nothing. You just continue to keep going by what you’re talking about. If you don’t hear it from me, it means nothing. I’m going to stick what I do, what I say, how I say, and whatever I say. I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m living right. I want to be a role model. I grew up in a situation not like a lot of people. I feel like god gave me this gift to show people that’s how you’re supposed to do it. That’s what I’m going to do.”

He was asked about himself being a role model. His main concern is being a role model for his own son.

“He watches everything I do. I play close attention to that,” Bryant said. “I watch him stare at me, like not a mean look but ‘what is daddy doing.’ I watch him play the game whenever his friends come over, and he’s doing exactly what I was doing. And when I see stuff like that, I have to watch myself. I have to make sure that I’m doing the right thing
