this guy was my all time favorite player. he was the one that really got me to love football like i do today. Almost everytime he was on the field he would always get touchdowns like no one else in the league and it was truly something special. if only injuries never hurt his career he could have done soooo much more and eventually be a lock for the hall of fame. i'll never forget dez and his electrifying catches. Forever Throw Up The X.

A lot of people are gonna hate me, but my favorite 88 was Dez! A straight beast he was. I wish we could have won at least one with him.

[@joshtorres9980]

Everyone wants to talk about him being a diva or too much attitude? He showed emotion for the game for one, & 2 he always backed up his word on the field. He was actually a humble man with a burning heart of passion.

[@spruceeagle4684]

Other than Fitz, Julio, Megatron, and D-Hop, nobody in the last decade had the hands that prime Dez did. Dude could catch literally any ball thrown his way.

[@mcuthor7831]

Love Dez! Will always be an all time Cowboys great! Saying that, the fact he was essentially done and out of the league at 29 makes me wonder what he was like behind the scenes.

[@dafuq9255]

No more Romo, Dak couldn’t make the passes he left to saints but tore his Achilles, which ruined his jump ball

[@mcuthor7831]

@@dafuq9255 but the he didn’t sign with the Saints until the second week of November in 2018; so he went the entire offseason and half of the 2018 season before someone signed him and was only 29. A 29 year old coming off two okay seasons in 2016 and 2017; in 2016 he played 14 games(13 regular season, 1 playoff game) where he had 59 catches, 928 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Then in 2017 in 16 games he had 69 catches, 838 yards, and 6 touchdowns. So not huge numbers but still productive and yet no one jumped on him once released. Dez is my second favorite Cowboy behind Emmitt but it sure seems like there was more going on than we know.

[@hectorsalamanca6734]

@@mcuthor7831 good point. That is odd well didn’t the ravens almost sign him after the Achilles. It is odd other teams didn’t pursue him especially a red zone talent. Maybe they thought he was too much of a “diva”

[@FirstLast-yc9lq]

Always bittersweet with Dez. He was a great WR, but it was so short lived and the whole "non-catch" really just brings back a lot of bad memories and brings up the "What could have been" question. It's cool seeing him starting to put his playing career behind him and returning to being a super fan again and at games.

[@reidweed9543]

@@brucebruce7065 I understand you have only watched the new generation of football so must not understand what it means to be a football player it’s not about stats it’s about the ability to motivate a team, help your teammates improve and not be selfish. You have to remember these are two different styles of play between for example todays bengals and the 2010’s cowboys. For example, the cowboys did not throw the ball 40 times a game. Does that make jamar chase who receives more targets and already has a connection to joe burrow from college better than dez after one year? No. Is he really good? Sure of course. But dez had no previous chemistry with romo and thus the two cannot be compared. two completely different starts to their career. Dallas will be and have always been a rush first offense and that must be taken into account, don’t make assumptions about how good you think a player is when you have never actually been in a locker room of that caliber or have known what it really means to give it all for your team. I wish you luck in your future endeavors and hope that you are more mindful in the future to understanding the process behind success and not making assumptions without having the knowledge to back them up. Have a great day.

[@devildog65]

Dez is probably the most underrated, undervalued & understood WR in NFL history. But he was a great Receiver, Returner and teammate. His hands were HUGE. The emotional side of his game was reminiscent of Michael Irvin. They both were emotionally positive forces for the team’s success. I wish we had either of them on the team now! Dez should get into coaching. I just have the feeling he’ll be great teaching kids, with his passion for football. I also think Jerry should put Dez in the ROH. He gave everything he had to the Cowboys. That should be the prerequisite for entry. #DC4L
