He was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in his lone season at Oregon, racking up 45 tackles, five passes defended, 4 1/2 tackles for loss and an interception over 14 games while helping the Ducks reach the College Football Playoff semifinals.

In 50 games over his four college seasons, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound defensive back totaled 173 tackles, 20 1/2 tackles for loss, 16 passes defended, eight sacks, three interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Bryant, a six-year pro, signed with the Seahawks in April. He had two catches for seven yards in 12 games with the Houston Texans last season.
