DALLAS, Aug. 3 (UPI) — Dallas Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant is well-known for his fiery demeanor. On Sunday, Bryant’s competitive nature came in the form of fists flying.
While going out for a route at Cowboys training camp, Bryant locked arms with cornerback Tyler Patmon. Patmon and Bryant forced each other to the sideline where Bryant took off Patmon’s helmet and threw a wild punch.
Patmon is a rookie, who, like Bryant, played for Oklahoma State.
“Oh man, that’s just brothers fighting,” Patmon told DallasCowboys.com. “That’s what happens sometimes, so we go at it and then we squash it. It’s over. Cornerbacks and receivers, there’s always history there. You know, it’s bound to happen. You know it’s part of being a family. We’re grown men. We battle. It’s a part of it.”
