Last season, Bryant played 12 games with four starts for the Houston Texas. He had two catches for seven yards, and played 173 snaps on offense and 97 on special teams.

Bryant has played 90 career games with 37 starts and 10 touchdown receptions. In each of his first three pro seasons, he played at least 15 games with 21 receptions and 233 receiving yards or more.
