When the New York Jets signed former Florida Atlantic defensive lineman Brandin Bryant to the practice squad on Monday morning, it highlighted not only the talent of last year's Owls defense but also the youth of this year's group.
Bryant is one of three Owls from last year's defense currently on an NFL roster. Cornerback Cre'Von LeBlanc is with the Chicago Bears and safety Sharrod Neasman is with the Atlanta Falcons. Defensive lineman Trevon Coley went through training camp with the Baltimore Ravens before he was cut.
