4) Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys

Bryant has been one of the most highly-discussed wide receivers in the league since his rookie season, and that’s the price that he pays for being a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He has battled some worry about inconsistency in the recent past, but after two straight 1,200-yard seasons, the combination of Bryant and Tony Romo has entered the stratosphere of most productive duos in the league.

As a pure player, Bryant doesn’t have a singular weakness. His hands leave something to be desired, but they are still average at worst, and physically, he is a monster at more than 220 pounds. Bryant is in the class of players like Julio Jones with regard to explosiveness and strength, and at 25 years old, he is just entering his prime as a player.
