SAN ANTONIO -- Receiver Dez Bryant has done everything right on the field during the first two days of Dallas Cowboys training camp, but he refuses to participate in an NFL rite of passage.
According to the rookie first-round pick, Roy Williams and the other veteran receivers can carry their own shoulder pads after practice.

Williams gave his pads to Bryant after Sunday's morning practice, but Bryant declined to carry them. Williams threatened to go to "step two" when talking to reporters.




"I'm not doing it," Bryant said. "I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads."

"If I was a free agent, it would still be the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry someone's pads. I'm saying that out of no disrespect to [anyone]."

---------------------------------------------

Dez just doesn't get it. This is a rite of passage for rookies to make them feel part of the team. By refusing to do this step (and then stupidly going to the media about it), it make Dez look like he is "too good" for his team. I would imagine by the end of training camp, he will change his tune, but if he doesn't, then it won't be good for the Cowboys.

He'll end up regretting this. What he resists will persist and they'll make him pay one or another.

What a surprise.?! So goes another diva playing wide out in the NFL.

I'd say Bryant gets a nasty welcome to the NFL from Roy with a neck breaker of a blindside hit during camp.

There's a goddess for that!

Crap, I don't follow the "COWGIRLS" because I hate everything about them except their cheerleaders, so yes I was talking about the other Roy that use to lay down nasty hit on their defense and he also cause the horse coller rule to go into effect. Never mind the Roy on their team now, he hasn't earn his paycheck since he's been in the league.

I suddenly got a flashback image of Duane Thomas sitting all alone on the far end of the Cowboys bench.

Yes, I'm old.

[SouthSide Titan]

Wow!!! I always wondered when a rookie was gonna say Carry your own damn pads fool!!! I know its' a sign of respect for rookies to do that and it's part of the hazing and all that,but I feel Dez though.On the other hand Dez...you gots to pay dues!! The way Roy has played since he's been in Dallas he really should carry his own pads.Fo' real.

If I were Dez, I would have asked why the waterboy is asking me to carry pads.
