The Facts:
Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett, the two biggest faces with the Cowboys, praised the work of Bryant in two separate conversations last week at the NFL owners meetings. "Is it dreaming to think that we can have a more effective Dez Bryant?" Jones said. "In the sense, Dez just gets better and has a better understanding of what he's doing when he's not getting the ball: How he's helping Miles (Austin) out. How he's helping (Dwayne) Harris out. How he's helping (James) Hanna and how he's helping (Jason) Witten. But he has a better understanding there. I'm looking forward to a more effective Dez Bryant, and everything I'm saying about his work is showing us that."

And not just his on-the-field work, but what he's done off the field. ... On Saturday, Bryant made a surprise appearance at a rally against domestic violence in Dallas. Bryant was arrested for allegedly hitting his mother, Angela, last summer. "I made a mistake," Bryant told a large crowd that attended the rally. "I just want everybody to know, it's not good to hit women and I challenge every man out here to X all domestic violence of your life." On Sunday afternoon, Bryant wrote this on Twitter: "The way I think and the way I've been going about my business lately.. I have no choice but to be successful #thatsallGOD" According to ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins, it seems we're getting a mature Bryant, the Bryant the Cowboys hoped he would become when they moved up in the draft and selected him late in the first round. He's one of the more explosive players on the field, has become a trusted receiver for Tony Romo and his command of the offense isn't a worry anymore. "He's just a really, really good young man," Garrett said.
