Random Ramsdom: Rams have met with Washington’s Myles Bryant

The Draft Wire’s Justin Melo reported yesterday that the Rams held a pre-draft meeting with former Washington defensive back Myles Bryant over FaceTime. Bryant, a former walk-on, was a two-time selection to the All-Pac 12 Second Team over the last two seasons and earned an honorable mention nod in 2017.

As a junior in 2018, Bryant started 12 of 13 games and recorded 61 tackles with 4.5 going for a loss, 3.5 sacks, and six pass breakups. This past season, he finished with 68 total stops, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, three interceptions, and a single pass breakup.

Bryant played safety in 2019 but he’s projected to be a slot corner at the next level. At only 5’8 and 183 pounds, Bryant ran an underwhelming 4.62 forty at the combine but posted elite agility numbers with a 6.82 in the 3-cone and a 4.02 in the short shuttle. Those numbers bode well for a transition to nickel. He won’t have to turn and run often with receivers and can take advantage in zone coverage with his phenomenal lateral agility.

Now to the links.
