to tie the longest in club history as he racked up the most touchdowns (10) and the third-most yards in the<br />
league through the final eight games of the season. In 2013 Bryant continued to improve into a dominant<br />
receiver, leading the team in all receiving categories with 93 catches (a career-high), 1,233 yards and 13<br />
touchdowns - a then career-high and previously tied for third in a season in team history. Bryant finished the<br />
season with a touchdown in each of the last five games, and he earned his first career trip to the Pro Bowl<br />
for his efforts in 2013. The 2014 season added to the evolution of one of the best wide receivers in the NFL<br />
as Bryant led the league with a club-record 16 touchdowns to earn his second straight Pro Bowl selection<br />
along with All-Pro honors. while placing eighth with his third straight 1,000-yard season (1,320) and 12th with<br />
88 catches. The native Texan (attended Lufkin High School, 175 miles southeast of Dallas) carries on the<br />
strong tradition of Cowboys receivers wearing the number 88, as both Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin had<br />
storied careers in the number.<br />
