Dez Bryant: 'I can break receiving record'

Bryant: 'I can break receiving record'

Dez Bryant has said that he can become the first player to record over 2,000 receiving yards in a single NFL season.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver had a career-best 1,382 yards in 2012 in his third season in the league.

The 24-year-old told ESPNDallas.com: "I feel like it can be a lot more. That's just being honest. I honestly feel like [2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns] can potentially happen.

"It's only going to get better, to be honest. I still have a lot to give. I feel like nobody's seen anything. Nothing.

"I'm so confident. I view myself as an up-and-coming leader. That's how I view myself. With that attitude, you have to feel like anything's possible. That's how I feel."

Detroit Lions wideout Calvin Johnson set a new record in 2012, receiving for 1,964 yards.
