dezDesoto, Apr 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) For Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, the Thursday night turned out to be one of the most memorable nights as he became the 24th draft pick for the first round and landed up in a team that he has always idolized. The media that had criticized the player and questioned his character few months back flooded the house of the adviser of Dez Bryant where the latter was during the Thursday night draft pick. The overwhelmed Dez Bryant who received a call from the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones two hours after the NFL draft began, said that what matters to him the most is the fact that he is going to play for the team he always wanted to.

The day turned out to be an eventful one both for the Dallas Cowboys and Dez Bryant. While Dez Bryant tried to maintain his cool in front of his family and friends, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys had to go for some real quick business to acquire Dez Bryant. The Dallas Cowboys traded their 27th overall pick to the New England Patriots to get their 24th overall pick which allowed them to get Dez Bryant to the team.

Dez Bryant was considered as one of the top wide receivers. He has to his credit 29 touchdowns with 2,425 yards in just 28 games at Oklahoma State. However, due to his suspension from three games last year due to a lie that he told to the NCAA about his relationship with Deion Sanders many teams reportedly restrained from drafting him.
