Dez Bryant has been expressing his desire to return to the NFL and is hoping to sign with a team in free agency. On Thursday, Bryant made a post on Twitter proving that he is extremely eager to get back on an NFL field.
All I can think about is catching a pass in a stadium

The last time that Bryant caught a pass in an NFL game came in Week 17 of the 2017 season with the Dallas Cowboys. Despite not playing in an NFL game for two seasons, the free-agent receiver believes he is ready to make a comeback.
Near the end of the 2018 season, Bryant actually signed with the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, he sustained a torn Achilles in his first practice with the team and would miss the rest of the season.
Since his devastating injury, Bryant has been working tirelessly to get back into playing shape. Even though he's been out of the NFL for two years, Bryant is still only 31-years-old. Given that, there's a team that could give him a chance to prove he can still produce in the league.
Some people tend to forget that Bryant was once one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. From 2012-2014, Bryant combined for 273 receptions, 3,935 yards, and 41 touchdowns with the Cowboys.
While Bryant is no longer the dominant receiver he once was, he can still be a difference-maker for a team in need of an experienced pass-catcher. Not long ago, Bryant expressed his interest in returning to Dallas next season. However, it is unclear if the Cowboys share the same interest in reuniting with Bryant.
