As it turns out, Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryantt showed up on time for his Pro Day workout. But somehow he forgot to bring his cleats!! This is failure of epic proportions, you have worked all of your life for a chance to play in the NFL, and when scouts are showing up to evaluate you the most important piece of equipment is left at your house!
It was confirmed that Bryant forgot to bring his cleats, and that as a result he had to wear a pair of brand-new shoes, which had not properly been broken in. This sounded like a rumor when I first heard it, but apparently it was true and as a result of the wearing the new shoes he was slipping all over the place.
Bryant ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 and 4.62 seconds, within the 4.52 to 4.68 range reported by NFL.com. He presumably would have run faster, but for the slipping. Dez Bryant you are a good athlete and will probably be a top ten pick in the draft, but for now you are being inducted into the Hall for your lack of thinking this time. Dez, welcome to the Hall!!
