Dez Bryant’s new contract hasn’t lessened his intensity.
Bryant took a swing at Cowboys cornerback Tyler Patmon at training camp today. The two were first exchanging words on the sideline, and then Bryant reached out and took a shot at Patmon. Other teammates and coaches stepped in and things did not escalate.
According to reporters on the scene, quarterback Tony Romo and coach Jason Garrett both talked to Bryant on the field, and Bryant then went over to Patmon and gave him a hug. Apparently cooler heads prevailed.
It’s a rare training camp that doesn’t have at least a couple of scuffles, so this isn’t a big deal in the scheme of things. Bryant is an intense competitor, and the Cowboys love that about him. Even if he occasionally goes too far.
