Dez Bryant's favorite spelling bee co-champ is at Cowboys HQ for minicamp

It looks like Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant is getting the opportunity to meet his spelling bee idol today -- or is that the other way around?

Turns out National Spelling Bee co-champ Nihar Janga showed up at Cowboys headquarters in Valley Ranch on Wednesday. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett even brought him up to the lectern during his news conference

Janga, from Austin, grabbed Bryant's attention when he threw up the X after being declared a co-champ.
