Cowboys' Dez Bryant raved about Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes

Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant has his share of head-shaking moments, but the receiver can also surprise you in a good way.

Receivers and cornerbacks are frequently called the divas of the sport (a well-earned reputation), but on Sunday, after the Cowboys ended its seven-game losing streak with a win against the Miami Dolphins, Bryant had nothing but good things to say about Brent Grimes, the cornerback who spent the afternoon shadowing him all over the wet Sun Life Stadium turf.

"Oh, man, I love Grimes," Bryant said, saying the three-time Pro Bowler is arguably the best corner in the league. "It's like even when you make a move on him, he's still there. You get him picked around, he's still there. And I think that's what I respect most about his game.

"You know, he's very patient, he's very quick, real quick, and guys like that, you want to train with those kinds of guys, you know? Because it will help you as well, and that's what me and him were talking about. At the end of the year, in the offseason, we're going to get together and try to do some work together."

Bryant even asked for Grimes' jersey off his back when the game was over, and the two swapped, a memento from their on-field battle. Bryant was targeted nine times by Tony Romo; Grimes held him to just four catches for 45 yards, one of them a touchdown. Grimes also had an interception.

"Got his jersey," Bryant said. "You know it's that real. Like I said, I respect him, I have high respect for him."
