Position Specific Skills – Bryan has tools to play safety. He plays the deep half really well with good range. Possesses really good twitch, balance and body control along with great burst and acceleration. Has great play speed with great catch up speed to close the gap on cuts. Runs the alley with a purpose and is an excellent open field tackler. Shows toughness and a high motor. Also exhibits great football instincts. He has the tools to be a solid power 5 player and can contribute on defesne as well as special teams.
Overall – Bryan is a very productive player in a league with very good competition. He has decent size but not prototypical for a safety. He must get in the weight room to gain weight and strength along with bulk to protect himself as he is asked to move down in the box to make plays on a regular basis. His ability to run and cover from the slot is very important to his ability to get on the field at the power 5 level. His development physically will determine his ceiling at the safety position.
