Despite Natural Beasley Comparisons, Switzer Found “Big Brother” In Dez

Posted Jun 9, 2017
The comparisons to Cole Beasley were inevitable from the moment the Dallas Cowboys drafted Ryan Switzer out of North Carolina. And while he’s certainly a similar type of receiver, Switzer has been drawn to an even more prominent Cowboys receiver. “Dez has been like a big brother to me so far,” Switzer said, before adding, “I know we’ve only known each other for going on a month now.” (Dallas Cowboys)
