Wide Receiver Rank: #22
Overall: #76
Bryant might have been the surprise of the league last season. He was out of football in '07 and had been with three teams the previous three years. But he caught on with the Bucs and served as their No. 1 receiver all season, having a breakout year. He set career highs across the board ? receptions (83), yards (1,248) and touchdowns (7). It was his second 1,000-yard season of his career. The talent has always been there, but his off the field issues and questionable work ethic held him back. It call came together last season, though, for Bryant. He'll continue to be the No. 1 option in the Bucs passing game. He isn't a huge receiver, but has good speed and strength. He'll make the tough catch in traffic and also is one of the top deep threats in the game (career 15.3 yards per reception). Bryant had his knee scoped after training camp started, but is expected to be ready for Week 1.

Bryant isn't likely to repeat last season, making him a guy that will be overvalued come draft day. We still consider him a decent No. 2, but his past history doesn't suggest he'll keep up his great play from last season. |
