The 2014 season was quite possibly the apex of Dez Bryant’s career to this point. He logged a career high 16 touchdowns, breaking the Cowboys record for most receiving touchdowns in a season, he made his first playoff appearance, nearly had a career high in yards, and was named First Team All-Pro for the first time. One might argue that the fact that it was a contract year had something to do with that performance, and there may be some truth to that, although statistically his production was almost identical in 2014 to the 2012 and 2013 seasons, and it’s likely that the accolades only started to roll in as a function of overall team success that was missing in those other seasons.
