Dez Bryant: 'I'm too rough to be a diva'

Matthew Emmons / USA TODAY Sports

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has a penchant for flare.

The 25-year-old star is well-known for his dramatic antics on and off the field, and is one of the league's most eccentric players. However, he doesn't believe he's a difficult person to manage.

"I'm too rough to be a diva.... There's nothing diva about me," Bryant said to NFL.com's Mike Silver.

Bryant is coming off an outstanding 93-catch, 13-touchdown campaign, but is still fueled by criticism.

"I don't like when people give me praise," Bryant said.

"Don't be telling me I'm good! I don't want to hear that!"

The Cowboys take on the Titans in Week 2.
