2. Dallas Cowboys Dez Bryant

Other than Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant is the most talented and physical wide receiver in the NFL. The dude is a straight hand full for corners and safeties. The 6’2” Bryant has raised the level of his game and performance every season he’s been in the league and he’s got a chance to go down as one of the all-time greats.

Yeah I said it. He’s that good.

So far in 2014, Bryant has recorded 67 receptions, 952 receiving yards, 10 touchdown catches, and has proven to be a true No.1 receiver for Dallas. Bryant and Romo has formed a nice connection these last few years and it’s only going to get more effective over time, as Dez continues to improve his game. I know he hasn’t hit the 1,000 yard receiving mark yet like other wide receivers have, but as far is impact goes, I will make the case that no wideout on this list is as valuable to their club as Bryant is to the Cowboys.
