Bryant refuses to carry Williams' pads as part of rookie hazing‎

[C-A-T-S]

SAN ANTONIO -- Dez Bryant isn't buying into the rookie hazing so far, and that could be costly for him. Veteran Roy Williams ordered the rookie to carry his shoulder pads after practice. Bryant is refusing.

"I'm not doing it, because I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads," Bryant said. "If I was a free agent, I'd still say the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry another man's pads. I'm not saying that out of disrespect."

Williams said Bryant would pay for his refusal to carry on a rookie tradition at Cowboys camp.

"He's kind of ornery right now," Williams said. "He doesn't want to carry the pads. He said that's our pads and we should take them in the locker room.... If not, we'll go to step two."

And step two is?

"We'll find out; we're definitely going to find out," Williams said. "I've seen guys take people's credit cards and go fill up their cards and wives' cards. There's a lot of dirt that goes on in that locker room." Williams said he carried pads and paid for meals when he was a rookie with the Lions.

"I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn't want to be that guy," Williams said.

If Bryant didn't like this idea I wonder what he will be thinking when they tape him to the goal posts later on?

The sense of entitlement from young athletes today is depressing.

Suck it up. Everyone hates it, just do it.

In 4 years this piece of poo better not have anyone carrying his pads.

All ready NOT a team player. The word that comes to mind is DOUCHE. If Beason can carry Morgans pads then anyone can carry pads.

Honestly I can respect that. Who cares. Bryant is already a better WR than Williams will ever be and he hasn't played a down yet. I'd tell him to fug off too.

It's not a Dez Bryant / Roy Williams thing, it is an NFL thing that has been going on for years!
