If There Is An Opposite To Dez Bryant Shoulder Pad Story, Travis Ivey Is It

For every columnist that got upset when Dez Bryant refused to carry fellow wide receiver Roy Williams’ shoulder pads after practice at Cowboys’ training camp -- a common form of rookie hazing in the NFL -- allow Travis Ivey to ease your pain.

Ivey, a rookie defensive tackle with the Dolphins, shouldered the load* after Sunday’s practice: four sets of pads on his back, and one more in each hand.
