VIDEO: NFL star Dez Bryant once raced a horse (and lost)

Beaten by a nose, but it is a rather big nose.

Before he was signing $70million contracts, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Des Bryant was a college star at Oklahoma State.

Last night video emerged from 2009 of a race between the NFL star and the university’s mascot, Bullet.

Bullet is a horse, by the way.

Bryant has been getting some stick from Cowboys fans of late for dropping a few balls since his return from a foot injury, but there is no denying the fact the man is fast.

Seriously fast.

But not as fast as a horse, whatever the video title may claim.

Bryant false-started and took an unfair advantage over Bullet. He shouldn’t feel too bad though, not many human beings are faster than horses.
