Dallas Cowboy’s rookie Dez Bryant has caused a stir already. He hasn’t even spent a week in training camp and already he has started a bit of a controversy. Apparently the no.1 draft pick has refused to carry teammate Roy Williams’ shoulder pads in a little rookie hazing. Bryant recently signed a five year deal worth $11.8 million with the Cowboy’s.
When asked why he wouldn’t participate he said, “I’m not doing it,” he explained, ” I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads.”
Roy Williams didn’t agree with Bryant and says that he had to go through similar hazing as a rookie. He said ” Everybody has to go through it,” he added “I had to go through it. No matter if you’re a no.1 pick ot the 7,000th, you’ve still got to do something when you’re a rookie.”
*SN* Shoe and Clothing Apparel company ‘Under Armour’ has dropped Bryant. According to CNBC It has everything to do with the fact that Bryant — less than a month after being drafted 24th overall — hit Cowboys OTAs in Nike shoes and gloves, and has been wearing the brand ever since. However, Nike spokesman Kejuan Wilkins has confirmed that the Cowboy’s rookie is not at all endorsed by Nike.
