STRENGTHS
Bryan is the best blocking receiver in this draft class. He shows good speed and has those strong hands and body that make him a potential franchise receiver. He reminds me a lot of Hall of Fame and former Cowboys receiver Michael Ervin. He is a passionate teammate and is a dominating playmaker and shows leadership through his passion to make every play successful. He is the type of receiver who is open when he is not open. Bryan is very smart and can play any one of the receiver positions and because of his blocking could also be valuable around the goal line when his number is not called. There is not a play that Bryan isn’t working hard on. He has excellent balance and a BIG catch radius going high or low to catch the ball. Bryan has excellent hands and his ability to make yards after the catch is just one of his better attributes. There might be faster receivers in this draft class but there are no better receivers for sure. I call him Bryan (The terminator) because when he blocks you, you’ve been terminated from making a play on his teammate.
CONCERNS
Bryan is not a speed receiver but just like Michael Irvin, he will get deep because of the fear he establishes with DB’s playing up on him who will struggle to tackle him. Bryan also does not separate as well as you would like him to on every route because he has so much confidence in his ability to defeat his opponent to the ball in the air. The DB’s are bigger, stronger and more physical so Bryan will have to learn to change gears more and run sharper routes but I don’t suspect this will change much and I’m not sure it has too. Either way, Bryan will impact.
BOTTOM LINE 1.47
Bryan will impact on every play because he doesn’t care if the play is to his side or not, he will still block. He doesn’t care if a cornerback is right on his hip while he runs a route because Bryan will still catch the ball. He doesn’t care if you know what route he is going to run because…you guessed it, he will run it anyway and make the needed yardage to move the chains. If you go to tackle him he will make sure you remember who you tackled by putting his shoulder into the player’s chest just to gain a few more inches. You want Bryan to line up in the slot, no problem. You want Bryan to line up on the outside, no problem. No matter what you ask of Bryan he will do everything he can to make that play successful and if it’s not, he will just move on to the next play and do everything he can to make THAT play successful, Just like Michael Irvin. Bryan is a football player who plays on the offensive side of the ball and anything you need of him, he will do everything in his power to make it happen. Bryan is a potential franchise player, the type you can build your passing game around. He’s the type of receiver who will make your QB better, think about that.
