Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant is somehow ranked as the seventh best receiver in Madden 17, with just a 90 overall rating.
Needless to say, he was unhappy with that ranking.
“It is what it is. We’re just going to see what happens. Like I told Madden, they put me at 90, I’m not worried about that," Bryant said. "That rating going to shoot up real quick, you best believe that.
I gots to be a MEGA star..I laugh and joke about my madden rating and it gets a lot of attention lol .. Unbelievable be #blessed young man

Of course trying to grab a few laughs, the EA Sports Madden Twitter account decided to have some fun with this little situation, and tweeted out this video in response to Dez and his comments.

Ha ha ha, very funny EA Sports. Although I will admit, I'd love to see Dez kick some field goals one day.
However, Bryant wasn't laughing when he saw this little joke.
Just for the record @EAMaddenNFL I was never mad... I see you can't have fun these days...lol #x

Obviously just another little playful jab, but it will clearly get portrayed as some vicious remark towards the folks over at EA.
