Michael Irvin does not expect Dez Bryant to get starting job

As a rookie of the Dallas Cowboys, Dez Bryant has received a lot of praises on his talents and future from various people, including former Cowboys “the playmaker” Michael Irvin. However, Irvin does not think the talents Bryant is having are enough to earn him a starting job in his rookie season.

Irvin had a great impression on Bryant since their first meeting in Cowboys rookie camp. Bryant was given the number 88, which was on the back of Michael Irvin jersey during the 1990s, and Irvin himself completely agreed with his former team on that move. The Pro Football Hall of Famer had several private conversations with the rookie receiver and had always said good words of him with belief that Bryant would be better than he was. However, Irvin thinks that Bryant still needs a lot of things to learn before he is able to handle starting role.

Irvin still insists that Bryant is one of the best rookies of this year’s draft picks, and he is impressed with Bryant’s humbleness as a former college star player. Even though Bryant is not going to get the starting job, Irvin is confident that his successor will have big impacts on the offense in 2010 season.
