Top Oklahoma State stars Bryant, Cox won't participate in pro day

by Dan Kadar on Mar 9, 2010 4:20 PM EST in 2010 NFL Draft

According to several published reports online, wide receiver Dez Bryant and cornerback Perrish Cox won't participate in the Oklahoma State pro day tomorrow.

ESPN's David Ubben reports that Bryant will hold a private workout on March 25. This is poor timing for Bryant. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford will hold a workout the same day.

Cox has been barred from the workout by Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. During the Cotton Bowl week, Cox broke curfew twice and was suspended for the game. Not allowing him in the workout is a continuation of that suspension.

However, it sure seems like something else is going on there. Suspending a player a game for missing curfew is one thing. But not allowing him to basically audition for a job is another.

DraftInsider.net is reporting that Cox will hold a private workout on March 30.

Bryant was suspended by the team in October after lying about interactions he had with Deion Sanders.

Dez just doesn't seem to be make any headlines for the right reason, does he?

I don’t think he’s this year’s version of Randy Moss…but it sure as hell seems he’s gonna plummet on draft day.

In the right situation (Ravens? Texans?…gasp, Colts?) dude’s gonna be a real good player.

Colts?

They dont need a receiver at all. They have Wayne, Collie, Gonzalez, and Garcon. If anything they could get rid of a receiver.

The Colts always draft a WR.

Peyton drafts for them

plus, aside from maybe Wayne…none of those guys are the athlete that Dez is.

If he drops

I think you would see him picked up by Dallas for sure. We could really use an upgrade at #3 WR and PR. He would do that instantly and send Patrick Crayton on his way.

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
