Dez Bryant calls out former coach, ex-Cowboys star says he dislikes talking football with ‘certain’ women
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant made headlines in the NFL with big plays, controversial moments and clashes with coaches. Just a few years after retiring, the former All-Pro is now stirring up more controversy for comments on social media.
Bryant, the 24th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, starred in Dallas from 2010-’17. A three-time Pro Bowl selection and the NFL’s receiving touchdowns leader in 2014, he was one of the best wide receivers in football during his prime years.
Dez Bryant stats (career): 527 receptions, 7,506 receiving yards, 75 touchdowns in 119 games
However, Bryant’s career began to derail in 2015. Coming off three consecutive seasons with double-digit touchdowns and 1,200-plus receiving yards, the 6-foot-2 wideout suffered a fractured foot in Week 1 and later dealt with ankle injuries, limiting him to nine games. In his final three seasons in Dallas, Bryant totaled just 2,035 receiving yards in 38 games.
Bryant signed with the New Orleans Saints in November 2018, but suffered a torn Achilles tendon two days later in practice.
After missing the 2019 campaign, he signed with the Baltimore Ravens. While he was only with the team for a few months, that experience evidently left an impression on him.
During his brief tenure with the Ravens, Bryant revealed on X on Saturday that offensive playcaller Greg Roman had mishandled quarterback Lamar Jackson.
This infuriated Bryant. One of the reasons he believes Baltimore is a top team this year is the addition of Todd Monken as offensive coordinator.
“Greg Roman to Todd Monken and that’s the difference! My short stint with the Ravens I was livid how much of Just Lamar rare abilities was winning games for the ravens.. he deserved to be coached with a real plan around him… looking from the outside in you can see the difference That’s what I’m banking on
The sentiment seemed to be shared by many Ravens fans, with many viewing it as confirmation that Roman was a big part of the problem in Baltimore.
