Sanders says no rules broken in relationship with Cowboys’ Bryant
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Former NFL player Deion Sanders says his longtime agent was not present for his meeting with Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant and the star didn’t give the player any gifts.
Sanders said on the NFL Network’s NFL Gameday Morning on Sunday that agent Eugene Parker was “not whatsoever” involved in the meeting at Sanders’ home and there wouldn’t have been any problems if Bryant hadn’t falsified his story to the NCAA.
“Now, the problem was someone — they wanted to question Dez about our relationship and Dez was nervous about ‘Why do these NCAA people have me in this room with a closed door questioning me?’ Now, had I been a liar or falsified any incident or evidence, my story would have collaborated with Dez,” Sanders said. “The kid said he didn’t come to my home. In actuality, he did.”
The All-America receiver, who was ruled ineligible by Oklahoma State, issued a statement earlier this week that he “made a mistake by not being entirely truthful when meeting with the NCAA.”
