Treadwell throws up the 'X' on Dallas visit
Former Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was in the Lone Star State early this week for a pre-draft visit with the Dallas Cowboys. While at AT&T Stadium, Treadwell posed for a pic in front of Dez Bryant's locker, throwing up the "X" in honor of the Cowboys receiver. Treadwell later posted the picture on Instagram with the caption "Americas Team," tagging both Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo in the process.
Treadwell had already established himself as a fan of Bryant earlier in the year. "I wouldn't say I would model my game after anyone, but I do like the way Dez Bryant plays, the way he attacks the ball, makes plays and makes the difficult plays," Treadwell said at the NFL combine, according to Cowboys.com. "Similarities are there, but I don't like to model myself after anyone. I like to learn and create my own style of play."
Treadwell was listed by Todd McShay as the top receiver prospect in the upcoming draft, so the image certainly has Dallas fans excited about the prospect of Treadwell and Bryant teaming up to catch passes from Romo.
