IRVING, Texas – To suggest Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was not in good shape last season is to suggest Superman isn’t strong.
What executive vice president Stephen Jones meant by bringing up Bryant’s conditioning from last year on Wednesday had everything to do with football conditioning.
Bryant missed almost all of the offseason program last year once the Cowboys placed the franchise tag on him. He did not sign his five-year, $70 million deal until July 15, a few weeks before training camp began.
After wanting to work him in slowly into drills, Bryant suffered a hamstring strain that kept him out of half of the camp practices in Oxnard, Calif.
