Thread: DJ Bryant?

    DJ Bryant?

    Anyone know anything about DJ Bryant, the OLB on the Ravens practice squad?

    I am curious about him for a couple of reasons. First, because they snapped him up when the Texans gave up on him. He was an undrafted free agent who the Texans brought in and I had noticed he had a decent camp as a pass rushing specialist before getting cut. Given the Ravens history with former Texans -- Vonta Leach, Bernard Pollard, Jacoby Jones -- my interest was piqued.

    When Christian Thompson was IR'd in December they elevated Anthony Levine from the practice squad and then signed Omar Brown to his spot on the practice squad. Levine was IR'd after a week or two with a shoulder and then Brown was elevated -- that's when they signed Bryant to that spot on the PS. (They briefly cut Bryant to sign running back Lonyae Miller to the PS, but then resigned Bryant right back when Adrian Hamilton was promoted to the 53).

    Anyway, Bryant I noticed is also a Baltimore kid who went to JMU. So I figured someone may know about his local connections in addition to perhaps having seen him play and formed an opinion.

    He went to Randallstown High and is a life long Ravens fan. I watched him practice and play for his entire senior season.

    He came to JMU as a WR and is very thin in the thighs and calves. He is physically weak. Only 6 Reps at 225 on his Pro Day. He is a relentless pass rusher with solid technique. He is fairly quick but not off the charts.

    His measurables will never impress but he is a gamer. DJ is also very feisty on the field.

    Hope that helps. I'm rooting for him.

    Thanks! It pays to ask. I'm a homer, so I'd like to seem him succeed too. Maybe after a year of lifting, eating right and good coaching he could push for a roster spot. Can never have too many pass rushers.

    Sure does. He put up good numbers this preseason so I think will get another look next preseason.
