After a sensational career at Oklahoma State, Cowboys receiver
Dez Bryant is now one of the top players in the NFL. In the past two seasons alone, he's recorded over 2,500 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns.
Bryant first emerged as an elite talent during his days at
Lufkin (Texas), playing for legendary head coach John Outlaw, who died in 2011.
"That's why we had success at Lufkin," Bryant recently
told KETK in Lufkin. "Coach Outlaw was one of the greatest coaches ever, if not the best coach I ever had in my life."
As a junior, Bryant caught 48 passes for 1,025 yards and 16 touchdowns. He was even more dominant as a senior, as he hauled in 53 passes for 1,207 yards and 21 scores.
