He admits to not feeling the pressure of the Bryant surname. But considers it as a privilege and pushes him to be great. Despite missing 2 of the best CB players in the Draft, Bryant has the potential to become a defensive presence in the future. He left a great impression on the Seahawks during his interview with the team. He will be itching for his chance to step onto the NFL stage.
Is Coby Bryant the smart choice for the Seattle Seahawks?
His game brings a ton of production and experience to Seattle’s secondary which will be a welcome addition. Bryant won the Jim Thorpe Award last season after becoming the nation’s top defensive back playing alongside Ahmad Gardner, the 4th overall pick to the New York Jets this year. Being a 23-year-old cornerback, he ended up recording 9 interceptions, and 35 passes defended over four seasons as a college starter.

He can do it all. He’s big and strong, really aware leader on that team, on a championship club, and a really good playmaker.”
