What seemed like an impossible dream a couple of months ago is now a reality: Dez Bryant is officially back in the National Football League after signing a deal to join the Baltimore Ravenspractice squad.

Whether he’ll end up making the team or not is yet to be seen, especially after such a long layoff and the career-threatening injury he suffered when he signed with the New Orleans Saints after being let go by the Dallas Cowboys.

However, it seems like the veteran wide receiver is already turning a lot of heads in Maryland, as reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson had nothing but praise and admitted to being impressed with him after watching him practice.

Lamar Jackson Lauds Front Office For Signing Dez Bryant

Oh man, it’s tremendous. We just have to see what he’s capable of. I see him on ‘IG’ [Instagram] a lot doing his thing. He’s grinding [and] getting after it. [Executive vice president] Mr. Ozzie [Newsome] and [General Manager] Eric [DeCosta], those guys did a great job upstairs bringing him in. We just have to see if he’s ready, see what he’s capable of and go from there, Jackson told the Ravens’ official website after practice.

Bryant was one of the best wide receivers in the NFL during his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys but his personality and the team’s lack of playoff success eventually made them move on from him.

Now, he’s got a prime opportunity to play for a Super Bowl in one of the biggest contenders in the league. The Ravens are currently 5-1 so it’s not like there’s much room for improvement. Then again, you never have enough weapons, and adding a veteran like Bryant to their current roster is certainly a move in the right direction as they look to put their playoff woes behind.
