Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant has high hopes for the division he once dominated. Bryant predicts the NFC East division will boast the Super Bowl champion this upcoming season.
But which team, Dez?
For starters ...
Bryant foresees the division winning back-to-back Vince Lombardi trophies after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in last year’s season finale.
"That’s the division to watch. I think the Super Bowl is coming out of the East this year," Bryant told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest.
He puts Dallas - coming off. 7-10 season - in the mix. That's a start, we suppose.
The former wideout has never wavered in his support of the Cowboys and is excited about the potential dynamic duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in the new-look offense.
"It opens up a lot," Bryant said. "I don’t know how you don’t be successful with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb on the field at the same time. It’s going to cause a lot of trouble. Schotty got to get in there and figure out the best scheme to score points.
"If we score points, we’re good."
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized the importance of building a winning culture throughout the offseason and Bryant believes the Cowboys are headed in the right direction.
"I love everything he’s been doing as of late," Bryant said. "You gotta give him his credit. He’s got the energy flowing in the building, the guys are happy to be there, and the guys would run through a wall for him. So, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going on."
With the Washington Commanders also in the mix to be playoff contenders, the NFC East looks poised to produce a serious Super Bowl contender. So Dez could be right about the division ... with high hopes for his favorite team.
