FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dez Bryant rattled off names of teammates who have been on the Dallas roster longer than the star receiver, correctly stopping at four.
The guy who once rejected tradition by refusing to carry veteran receiver Roy Williams’ pads when he was a rookie seven years ago is now 28 and the oldest player at his position for the Cowboys. And well aware of it.
“I want to lead by example,” Bryant said earlier in the offseason program that wrapped up Thursday. “I don’t want to run my mouth.”
He still has the occasional Twitter spat, and isn’t one to back down from verbal challenges.
