As a senior, he helped the Cubs to a 9-3 record and the quarterfinals of the CIF Section 5- Pac Playoffs. He notched 68 tackles and was named first-team All-Mission League. Bryant committed to Washington over Colorado and UCLA<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>College<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>As a freshman, Myles Bryant played in 11 of 14 games as Washington made the College Football Playoffs.

Bryant recorded two tackles, including half of a sack, in the Pac-12 Championship Game win over Utah and six tackles against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Bryant\u2019s senior year would be his best. He was named All-Pac-12 second team and named to the preseason watch lists for the Nagurski, Thorpe and Bednarik awards. The senior received Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors against Hawaii. In that game, he recorded two interceptions. He had a 26-yard interception, along with two tackles, in the Las Vegas Bowl win over Boise State.

His measurables are a cause for concern. His knack for the ball will appeal to teams in today\u2019s passing league. A high football character will enable someone to take a chance on him. Bryant&#8217;s ability to think in the fly will help him anticipate the snap count and make plays. By playing bigger than his size, Bryant demonstrated a work ethic that could mold him into a starting nickelback.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>His height leaves questions as to whether or not he can physically handle the brutality of the NFL. Bryant struggled in man coverage against big-name competition. He will need to bulk up in strength if he wants to play outside or in the slot. His biggest area of improvement will be to read the receiver instead of just reading the quarterback.<\/div>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"vxbS7pmlRdt5Ke2pMieKEQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1174740678\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'vxbS7pmlRdt5Ke2pMieKEQ',sig:'ZZ9JNRRILPkxdxBlH9xdPr5Zmbm10VQWQgrFZLzRB1A=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1174740678',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myles Bryant Overview Position: Defensive Back Height: 5\u20199\u201d Weight: 183 pounds School: Washington 40 yard Dash: 4.62 seconds Vertical Jump: 31.5 Inches 20 Yard Shuttle: 4.02 seconds Broad Jump: 115 inches 3 Cone drill: 6.81 seconds Myles Bryant 2020 NFL Draft Profile As a do-it-all prospect at the University of Washington, defensive back Myles Bryant [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3384,"featured_media":86167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647,33,30,25,14,17,36,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","category-cardinals","category-panthers","category-packers","category-texans","category-raiders","category-nfl-news","category-titans"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3384"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
