Dez Bryant Reportedly in Physical Altercation at Club Play

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was allegedly involved in a physical altercation at a nightclub in Miami on Sunday night, according to a report from Black Sports Online. A source told the website about the incident and he was "possibly arrested," though nothing has been confirmed at this time. 

Details are still sketchy at this point, and it is only one source that the site is using, so it is best to wait for official confirmation of anything before jumping to conclusions. 

Bryant was the Cowboys' first-round pick in 2010 with the 27th overall selection. He was one of the most talented players coming out of college, but questions about his character and work ethic pushed him down to the bottom of the first round. 

He has had some problems since coming into the NFL. Last year, he was supposedly involved in an incident with mall cops that led to a criminal trespassing warning and being asked to leave. The team has come out an expressed concerns about Bryant and his behavior in recent months. 

Again, it is important to remember that these latest allegations have not been confirmed, so it is possible this latest incident ends up being nothing. 

It is a little disheartening to see Bryant's name keep popping up in alleged off-field transgressions because he could be one of the best receivers in the NFL if he wanted to be. 

The Cowboys will no doubt monitor this situation closely and listen to Bryant's side of the story. He deserves the right to defend himself and possibly clear up any misconceptions in the report. 

We will continue to pay attention to this story and update you on any further developments as they become available.
