Dez Bryant can be a beast of a wide receiver when he’s focused and locked in, so he should be able to recognize a beast when he sees one right?
Bryant was asked a hypothetical question by ESPN in regards to LeBron James potential to play football at a high level in the NFL.
Bryant didn’t hold back on the accolades, saying “James would be a beast in the league.”
“That dude is just that talented,” said Bryant, who is coming off a breakout season of 92 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. “I think it would take him probably about a good two weeks to get very acquainted with football, knowing what he’s supposed to do. I think that’s all he’d need with his physical ability.
“I’ve seen a little bit of his highlights from high school. He’s got the hands, he can run the routes, he’s fast enough. He could play in this league if he put it all together.”
Bryant of course thinks King James would do most of his damage in the red zone.
“All he’d need to do is probably work on a little technique,” Bryant said. “It’s not like he’s never played football before. He has played football. I think he’d be a beast in the red zone. I think he could do it. I think he could do it, seriously.”
