Myles

Bryant

Bryant started three of the 11 games he appeared in last season for the Texans, totaling 40 tackles and one TFL. The sixth-year corner appeared on 343 defensive snaps for the Texans last season and can also serve as a contributor on special teams. Bryant has started 20 games in his career and spent most of his time lined up at free safety or in the slot, per PFF.

Bryant spent four seasons with the Patriots after signing on as a 2020 undrafted free agent. He signed with the Texans last offseason, debuting in Week 6 and logging 156 defensive snaps through their Divisional Round playoff loss to the Chiefs. He tallied 15 tackles and three forced incompletions during that span. The Texans also signed undrafted free agent DB Keydrain Calligan and waived OG Jerome Carvin and DE Kingsley Jonathan.

Quitoriano, 24 appeared in seven games, but has not received a single target in 2024. Myles Bryant was promoted to the active roster in the corresponding move.

Pierce was ruled out earlier in the week because of his groin injury. The Texans will also be missing Ward due to a groin issue, Patterson with a concussion and Al-Shaair out due to a shoulder injury.

This year’s “low” tender is worth $2.6 million. It gives the Pats the right of first refusal if Bryant signs an offer sheet elsewhere. Since he is a former UDFA, the Pats will receive no compensation if Bryant signs and New England does not match. Bryant was the Pats’ primary slot corner last season, but they are probably looking for an upgrade after he was a weak link over the middle of the field.

Bryant’s number is pretty mediocre for a defensive back, anyway. From one that measured in at 5-foot-8, 183-pounds? Not great, folks. On top of that, Bryant also had the worst vertical (31.5 inches) and broad jump (115 inches) of any defensive back. Where Bryant did shine, however, was in the cone drills, as he showed off his quickness with the second fastest 20-yard shuttle (4.02 seconds) and three-cone drills (6.81). At best, it’s a mixed day for the former Husky star.

Bryant (5'8/180) had a standout day against the Rainbow Warriors posting four solo tackles, two interceptions and a sack in the contest. Thought Bryant was a 2nd-Team All Pac-12 nominee last season he did not record a single interception, though he did break up 6 passes and recorded 3.5 sacks to go along with 61 tackles. Washington travels to BYU this weekend to take on the upset minded Cougars.

Bryant (5'8/180) only allowed 1.08 yards per cover snap and one touchdown per six pass breakups. He has mostly played slot-corner for the first three seasons of his collegiate career, largely due to being undersized. Bryant has strong Football IQ, elite quickness, and potential at the next level. He was already on the NFL draft radar before deciding to return for his senior season so another strong year should keep his draft stock afloat.

Bryant (5'8/180) has been a slot-corner for three seasons, and he’ll look to boost his draft stock during his senior season. Undersized for the NFL, Bryant will need to keep showing his quick feet to make it at the next level. One thing that’s not in question is his football IQ. Washington secondary coach Jimmy Lake said that he’s like a coach on the field. It’s a good day for the Huskies.

Bryant (5'8/180) has been a performer for the Huskies since his freshman year, and has been the slot-corner for the Huskies for the last three years. While he doesn’t have elite NFL size, he does have tremendous quickness, and he’s a sure tackler who could certainly help in nickel situations. The Huskies have four-star defenders who could take Bryant’s place if he does leave, but with Taylor Rapp off to the NFL already and Byron Murphy very likely leaving soon, this would be a huge loss for their depth.
