Early Life

Bryant was redshirted in 2003, the same year he was named a team captain. During his freshman season, he transitioned into the defensive tackle position and started every game. His strong performances earned him All-American and All-Big 12 honors from The Gridiron Report.

- 41 tackles
- One sack that resulted in a safety
- One blocked field goal

NFL Career with the Seattle Seahawks
Bryant was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the 121st overall pick in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
During his rookie season in 2008, Bryant was inactive for 12 games and recorded just eight tackles. His role remained limited in the 2009 season, but a major change came during the 2010 offseason when he was moved to defensive end. That season was interrupted by injuries, causing him to miss more than half of the games and eventually land on injured reserve.
Bryant’s performance improved in 2011, when he blocked four kicks, setting a Seahawks franchise single-season record. He also returned an interception for a touchdown in a game against the Chicago Bears.
In 2012, Bryant re-signed with the Seahawks on a five-year contract worth $35 million, solidifying his place as a key player on the team’s defense.
