In a week in which the Cowboys’ character is a chief concern, there was Bryant – lounging against the fence along the team’s practice fields, taking reporters’ questions about off-the-field behavior.
The difference was that Bryant wasn’t answering questions about his own transgressions, but someone else’s – Ezekiel Elliott, in this particular case.
“You know, I had an older guy tell me once: ‘You’ll get it over time,’” Bryant said. “That’s for any young guy that’s having any type of situation – you’ll get it over time. I’m the first to raise my hand.”
who has been through plenty of his own off-field storylines.,Bryant isn’t wrong about that. There might not be a better-equipped member of the Cowboys’ roster to comment on maturation than the All-Pro receiver
Now entering his eighth season, Bryant sounded like a sage veteran imparting the wisdom he’s learned during his career. And that information wasn’t directed at Ezekiel Elliott in particular, but any player coping with the spotlight of the NFL.
Asked more directly about his younger teammate, though, Bryant gave a vote of confidence to Elliott. He also insisted that the star running back has a strong support system within the organization.
” Bryant said. “I understand it’s more than football,“I believe Zeke is going to be fine. I’m not even worrying about Zeke, man. Because that guys loves football, man, but time will tell. He’s got a great supporting cast and he can’t lose with guys like us around him.”
such as last season’s missed MRI,Again, it’s interesting to see Bryant take on the role of mentor, given his own history with off-field behavior. From the time he was a first-round draft pick in 2010,

Elliott isn’t currently facing any concrete discipline for any specific incident. The NFL’s yearlong investigation into allegations of domestic violence is ongoing. But Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones was adamant this past weekend that there was nothing to those allegations.,To be clear
as he has been embroiled in several controversies during his short time in the league.,Still, Bryant’s message is one the Cowboys would probably like their young running back to hear, though
Bryant was sure not to cast stones in anyone’s direction – and advised others to follow suit.,For his part
“I’m pretty sure everybody here that’s got a camera in my face has been through certain situations and has skeletons in their closet,” he said. “We all have our issues. So I wouldn’t dare bash a man. So like I said, time will tell. That’s all I can say.”
That’s been a continuing trend for the Cowboys and for Elliott – time will tell. The organization has been waiting for word on the league’s investigation since last summer, and it’s entirely unclear if the Cowboys should expect some sort of discipline, for one reason or another.
Bryant said it’s not something he or his teammates – including Elliott – is worried about.,However much that might linger in the outside world
