Saints coach Sean Payton has long liked receiver Dez Bryant. When Bryant was cut by the Cowboys, the two stayed in touch. Not only does Payton admire Bryant's skill, but Bryant also brings to mind one of Payton's favorite players.
"He reminds me of Shockey," Payton told B/R.
That's Jeremy Shockey, the former Saints tight end, who, like Bryant, was as talented as he was fiery.
Now, with the addition of Bryant, the Saints can boast of having, quite possibly, one of the most talented offenses the sport has seen in the past five to 10 years.
