Was Tatum Bell in the area… maybe he took them. That was the last time I’ve heard of someone not having their spikes and that wasn’t up to Rudi.

After reading all these comments I see that people are extremely judgmental. The man forgot his cleats, so what? 2years ago at the NFL combine Calvin Johnson used borrowed cleats. I am sure stranger things have happened and not have been reported. It is crazy how some people call the guy a moron and he has barely spoken a word. If he ran a “slow” 40 who cares Anquan Boldin SLOW Lary Fitzgerald SLOW Sidney Rice SLOW in the 40 all ran under 4.50. Lets not forget he didn’t have a fast track like the combine. The guy did come off an injury that he suffered at the combine. For those who don’t understand, slipping can happen in a 40 and it makes ALOT of difference.

He actually brought 8 pairs of shoes. Fun to rip on the guy, but probably need to find a different reason. he was slipping on the 3 cone drill and shuttle so he tried a different pair (he had a lot to choose from) but he didn’t forget to bring cleats!!! Again, HE DID NOT FORGET TO BRING CLEATS!! The story was wrrr…incorrect!

What a moron. Any team stupid enough to waste a first rounder on this jerkoff deserves the headaches they’re going to get.

I really run a 4.12 but only in the special shoes that I had and since lost.
Maybe all the teams will understand and still draft me in the top 10.
History has proven, over and over again, that no team should draft a WR in the first round. For every Moss out there, there are 25 who were busts.

Dearest Dez Bryant:
It has come to the Entire NFL’s attention that you are shapeshifting into a 2nd round pick. One of us will pick you if you “slip” there. If not, well, PEACE!

All past problems would’ve been forgotten if Dez just showed up on point. He had to have known this. How do you forget your cleats? That boggles my mind.
I hope he goes in top-10 still…but in the second round. He deserves to lose the draft pick money his inevitable slip will cost him but he sure as hell doesn’t deserve the good fortune of falling to a good team.

He couldn’t have screwed this up more if he had planned it this way. Hmmm……….

“Dez Bryant, Thurman Thomas.”
I’m glad that I’m not the only person who remembers that, but I’m guessing that 95% of PFT Planet is wondering what the heck we’re talking about.

I can’t wait to see which team gets high post-draft grades from the pundits for getting a “Steal of the draft” or “Top 10 value” by picking this guy up a little later when he starts to fall, only for him to be an ongoing headache who fails to reach his potential.
Despite the Steelers’ latest shenanigans, my money is still on the Bengals. They did it with Henry, they picked up LJ last year, they routinely draft guys without regard to the fact they have “character” issues hanging over them (Lazy Andre Smith, Bernard Scott, Ahmad Brooks, Frostee Rucker, AJ Nicholson, etc.). I think Mike Brown thinks he’s running some sort of a halfway-house.

Oh, for pete’s sake, all the collaborating with Deion Sanders and the guy doesn’t have a freakin’ pair of cleats?? Really???

Who is responsible for checking these guys out – seeing to it that they have their shirt buttoned, their lunch packed, and a nickel tied up in a handkerchief?
Seriously, these guys are young & excited, and it doesn’t make them stupid to forget something – anybody out there ever run out to the car and back in again because you forgot your keys?

I would think he would be a lock to go to the Raiders for this incident, but you have to run a 4.3 or better to get drafted by them(FYI I have Taylor Mays going to Oakland no.8 overall).

Couldn’t Deion Sanders loan him some? What a tool. It’s like some one showing up for a job interview in cut-off and a torn t-shirt.

When will Golden Tate supplant this bum as the #1 WR in this draft? Come on folks, he is Percy Harvin without the migraines.

What are the chances that he planned on “forgetting his shoes” because he knew, like most people knew, that he would run in the 4.55 range?
I mean he’s only had the last 8 months to get ready for his Pro Day and then he supposedly forgets his shoes? What else did he really need to bring other than himself? This guy is a huge idiot and now even more red flags should be raised on this moron.

Thurman Thomas forgot his helmet at the Super Bowl. The biggest day of his professional life.”
He didn’t forget his helmet, numbnuts. He used to place his helmet on the 34 yard line before kickoff. Somebody moved his helmet so they could setup the stage for whoever sang the National Anthem, and Thurman missed the first two plays.
Your statement is just moronic on so many levels. Do you think the players bring their helmets home with them every night? They have equipment managers who handle all that stuff.

I’m betting the “I forgot my cleats” is just a set-up in case he doesn’t run well. Then he has a built-in excuse.
