Bryant was not selected.

So is Bryant done? Did I miss this?

Mississippi State defensive back Brandon Bryant didn’t get selected in the supplemental draft, but he did get signed by the New York Jets

Yes. He left in the spring. I don't think his grades were in the best of shape.

Says in the article he ran a 4.49 forty.

 

[dawgstudent]

Getting slower in his old age. No 4.25

I always thought his athleticism was overstated. He made some great plays, but he never looked like the world class athlete like he was hyped up to be.

 

[paindonthurt_]

The guy can run. 4.49 isn’t exactly slow.
Took some terrible angles though.
Lacked some effort too.

I read a few articles on him the last couple of weeks - seems most scouts did consider him a great athlete, but there were concerns over his playmaking ability. Basically what we've all seen the last two seasons... a freak athlete that didn't do much after his freshman season because he's slow to react, makes bad reads, or whatever you want to blame it on.

He ran 4.45 and 4.52 at a workout day they had on campus. That 4.45 is not bad for a safety.

Never said he was slow. He was publicized by multiple networks and magazines as a "freak athlete". I guess I have a different definition of "freak athlete".

We'll miss the depth but with Cole, Abram, McLaurin and Landrews I think we'll be all right.
