Former Cowboys WR Drew Pearson to Dez Bryant: Be patient

IRVING, Texas -- On his way to a Ring of Honor career with the Dallas Cowboys, Drew Pearson missed only three games, and two of them came in his last season.

He was durable and productive for whoever played quarterback for the Cowboys, finishing with 489 receptions for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdown catches.

The original No. 88 has some advice for the Cowboys and their current No. 88, Dez Bryant, on how to return from a second surgery on his right foot that limited him to nine games in 2015.

Bryant missed five games after having his broken fifth metatarsal surgically repaired, and then missed the final two games once the Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention.
