Former Washington Huskies defensive back Myles Bryant has signed with the reigning AFC South champions, the Houston Texans. Bryant spent 2016-19 on Montlake, appearing in 39 games where he totaled 177 tackles, 4 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 3.5 sacks. Details of his contract have not been released as of yet.
Bryant went undrafted in 2020 and signed with the New England Patriots, where he was waived before the beginning of the season and immediately brought back to the practice squad. He made his NFL debut just two weeks later against the Buffalo Bills and pulled in his first professional interception that year against the Los Angeles Rams.
He has grabbed one interception in each of the four years of his career, all of which have been spent in New England.
The Pasadena, California native will bring some depth to coach DeMeco Ryans’ secondary that has been recently beefed up after adding former Detriot Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah and Carolina Panthers cornerback CJ Henderson during the early days of free agency.
Paired with 2022 first-round draft pick Derick Stingley Jr. and veteran Desmond King II, defensive backs coach Dino Vasso has a talented group to deploy against the passing game next season.
