#5 Hunter Bryant, Washington

Bryant had more of a blocking tight-end in Will Dissly ahead of him on the depth chart

Similar to Smith’s situation at Stanford, Bryant had more of a blocking tight-end in Will Dissly ahead of him on the depth chart. However, the Huskies used the four-star recruit in a multitude of ways as a freshman.

Bryant ran flat-routes from the fullback spot, went underneath the formation off bootlegs, ran slants out of the slot and even caught a slip screen off play-action as well as being the target on a wide receiver pass.

When the ball is in his hands, the young Washington TE is a load to bring down. I don’t have any exact numbers on it, but from watching his 2017 tape, it felt like he broke at least one tackle on every target he received.

Last season, he was simply a big receiver, with 22 catches for 331 yards in nine appearances, and I want to see if he can be more of a team player.
