Fernando Bryant
Stephen Dunn/Allsport
He came on in the Senior Bowl and NFL teams are starting to really like his cover skills and athletic ability. At this stage of his career, he is a much better pass defender than run supporter. He is not a real physical player and doesn't seem to be thrilled about coming up and playing the run. He has good overall feet and is very smooth in his pedals and turns. He does a nice job of planting and driving on the ball and shows a good short burst and catch-up speed. He is a very smooth DC with not a lot of wasted motion and he should be able to contribute on special teams. If his speed holds up in the workouts leading up to the draft, he could be a high choice as a cover DC.
