Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has a nice, low backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to play off his man. Bryant also has the good long speed to turn and run as a press coverage guy and the powerful hands to disrupt receivers early in the route
- Long and fast and has the ability to dominate receivers as a press corner. He has a strong punch that upsets receivers early in the route, and Bryant has the straight-line speed to recover downfield if he loses early.
- Effective out of the slot, showing the instincts and quickness to mirror when the receiver has a two-way go. He has good instincts and awareness when playing off, showing good route recognition and anticipation when breaking on the ball.
- Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. Bryant has the quick and surprisingly powerful hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
- Has good cover skills, athleticism and big -play ability to be a lead cornerback if he matures.
- Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
- Liability against the run. Bryant gives effort but doesn’t have the power as a tackler or the ability to slip blocks.
- Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
