Dez Bryant doesn't have the same closing speed since injury, Calvin Pryor says

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Dez Bryant may be having a down year in Dallas, but the Jets defense still views the Cowboys’ star receiver as a threat. But according to safety Calvin Pryor, there is one part of Bryant’s game that’s taken a hit: his closing speed.

“I think he’s not looked the same since he had his foot injury, but he’s still a playmaker as well,” said Pryor. “ . . . I don’t think he has the same closing speed. But not to say that won’t happen against us. That’s just some things I’ve seen on film.
