Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant went back to his alma mater Oklahoma State this week to help the "other" Cowboys unveil their new uniforms.

But while he was there, Bryant paid a visit to OSU's academic center to see Nikki Jones, a long-time Oklahoma State learning specialist who works with student-athletes on a daily basis to assist in the organization of their crazy lives.

Jones was heavily involved in Braynt's academic success at Oklahoma State, being named all-academics in the Big 12 before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys with the 24th pick in the 2010 draft.

In a video posted to his Facebook, Bryant hugs Jones and thanks her while she whispers, "I'm so proud of you." Bryant also wrote a heart-felt note to Jones on the Facebook post, writing, "I put you through a lot and you never gave up on me."

You can see the video and the full note below.
