    Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips praised wide receiver Dez Bryant on Sunday while also passing along some advice. Phillips said Bryant showed a lot of potential during the team's three-day rookie minicamp but also told the first-round pick - as well as the other 25 rookies, eight first-year prospects and three tryout players - to be sharper when they join Cowboys veterans for the primary minicamp in June. "I think we got over the point we needed to, and that is they need to get physically better when they come back, and mental," Phillips said. "We threw a lot at them mentally. When I sent them home, that's what I told them, that's what we've got to have when they come back here." Bryant struggled with his conditioning, and also slightly turned an ankle during the last few plays of Sunday's drills but Bryant also made some spectacular catches, although against defensive backs with no NFL experience. "Dez Bryant is an absolute talent," Phillips said. "You don't get to be around that many players that come in and look that good that early. … He's pretty natural, got great body control, great hands, quickness, power and speed."
