It was Rolando Mcclain that gave that slow reaction. You can call it a delay if you want to but I call it disappointment in being drafted by the Raiders.
IRVING, Texas -- How high are the Dallas Cowboys' expectations for first-round draft choice Dez Bryant?
The Cowboys are handing him the No. 88 jersey, which was worn by Cowboys receiving legends Drew Pearson and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. In fact, the team already had Bryant No. 88 jerseys for sale on the team's website Friday morning.
"I guess in [owner] Jerry [Jones]' eyes, it says a lot about him -- that he can handle the pressure of wearing the double-8s," said Pearson, a member of the 1970s All-Decade team. "Most of the time, you say, what's in a number? In this case, there's a lot of history and production."
"For Jerry to anoint him with that number, it indicates that Jerry sees a lot of potential."
The Cowboys selected Bryant, the Oklahoma State standout, with the 24th pick of the first round Thursday night.
Pearson wore No. 88 from 1973 to 1983. The number was vacant until Irvin wore it from 1988 to 1999. Wide receiver Antonio Bryant and tight ends Jackie Harris and Brett Pierce have worn the number briefly since Irvin retired. Overall, 10 Cowboys players have worn No. 88.
Antonio Bryant brought some attention to the 88, but for the wrong reason. He was best known for throwing his No. 88 jersey into the face of then-coach Bill Parcells during an offseason workout.
Dez Bryant hopes to live up to the Cowboys' lofty expectations.
"Me falling to the Cowboys, that's the best thing that could ever happen to me," Bryant said Thursday night. "I'm so happy. I'm excited. I'm ready to go to work."
Bob Lilly's No. 74 is the only number that has been worn solely by one player in Cowboys history.
The selection of the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Bryant means the Cowboys will have a top-three receiving corps of Miles Austin, coming off a 2009 Pro Bowl year; Roy Williams, who has struggled in his two years with the Cowboys; and veteran Patrick Crayton.
The Cowboys also have young receivers Sam Hurd and Kevin Ogletree.
"If all goes well -- not trying to talk noise -- but if all goes well, we'll have the best wide receiving corps in the league," Williams said. "Dez is a big dude, he can play. He will help us win some ballgames."
"Stupid rich Mexican is stupid and rich. If you buy me a LBJ jersey I will burn it on Stickam right in front of your eyes."
"What can i expect of a faggot with a bowlcut and a wizard robe though, it's clear you just want to spend your days pretending you're Harry Potter. Kill yourself."
