| Biography: |
PRO: An athletic playmaker who has a flare for making the difficult reception, Antonio Bryant came into the NFL with impressive credentials and answered the calling with a very productive rookie season. He has all the tools necessary to develop into a dominant receiver in the NFL for years to come. As a rookie, he displayed the ability to catch the ball in a crowd, while also being able to make the leaping catch. Bryant has 4.43 speed in the forty to go along with solid leaping ability and excellent focus. His natural elusiveness and ability to run after catching the ball contributed to a team-high 16.7 yards-per-catch average that was the best among all NFC receivers in 2002. Bryant was the second of two Cowboys second-round draft choices (63rd overall) in 2002.
2003: Caught 39 passes for 550 yards and 2 touchdowns during his sophomore campaign with the Cowboys. 28 of his 39 catches gave Dallas a first down, including a team-high tying 11 to convert third down opportunities. Had a season high 5 receptions for 98 yards versus the New York Giants on September 15th.
2002: As only the second Dallas rookie to open the season as a starting wide receiver (Michael Irvin - 1988), Bryant went on to earn All-Rookie honors. He led all NFL rookie receivers with 733 receiving yards, finishing 139 yards ahead of the next rookie wide-out (Dante Stallworth - N.O.). His 44 receptions were the second most by an NFL rookie and second on the Cowboys behind Joey Galloway. His six touchdown receptions were second among NFL rookie receivers and tied for the Cowboys team lead. His reception (44) and touchdown (six) totals were the second most for a rookie in Dallas team history behind the numbers posted by Bob Hayes (46 catches and 12 touchdowns) in 1965. A season ending neck injury to Raghib Ismail forced Bryant into a baptism under fire as an opening day starter.
COLLEGE: A Biletnikoff Award winner and consensus All-America selection as a sophomore, Bryant left the University of Pittsburgh after his junior year as the school's all-time leading receiver with 3,061 career yards (including bowl games). His 173 career receptions were the second most in school history. He also set the Pittsburgh mark for career touchdown catches with 30, including four in two bowl appearances. Bryant also left an impressive legacy in the Big East, holding conference marks for regular season touchdowns with 26, and 100-yard receiving games with 13. As a junior in 2001, Bryant fought through nagging injuries en route to first-team All-Big East recognition. He finished the season with a team-high 42 receptions and nine touchdowns, while compiling 659 receiving yards (15.7 per catch). He capped his final collegiate season by earning MVP honors in the Visit Florida Tangerine Bowl. A consensus All-America as a sophomore, Bryant was named the winner of the Biletnikoff Award, annually presented to the nation's top receiver, becoming just the second sophomore to win the award (Minnesota Vikings' Randy Moss in 1997). Bryant also was named the Big East Conference's tri-Offensive Player of the Year, the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Player of the Year, All-Big East, All-East and was Pittsburgh's first underclassman to earn consensus All-America honors since tailback Craig Heyward in 1987. Bryant finished his breakout year with 68 receptions for 1,302 yards (19.1 avg.) and 11 touchdowns while leading the nation with 130 |
