48. Dez Bryant

An All-American from Oklahoma State, Dez Bryant had a nice rookie season in 2010, where as an All-Rookie, he had 561 Receiving Yards with another 508 Yards via returns.  Bryant would move towards just receiving, which was the better move for him, as would be shown by his increased production in the air.

Bryant had three consecutive 1,200 Yard and 12 TD years from 2012 to 2014, with the Wide Receiver leading everyone in Touchdown Receptions in 2014 with 16.  That season, he would earn a selection to the First Team All-Pro roster, and he would have three trips to the Pro Bowl.

Bryant was released after the 2016 season in a salary cap move, and he would sign with the New Orleans Saints.  He would never play there as he tore his achilles tendon, and never made it back to an NFL roster until years later with Baltimore.  Bryant would have 7,459 Receiving Yards with 73 Touchdowns as a Cowboy.
