Moving back from pick No. 111 to 117, the Detroit Lions pulled off a late trade and selected Bryant in the fourth round of Saturday’s NFL Draft.
Bryant recorded 30.5 tackles for a loss and 17 sacks over the past two seasons, earning third-team All-American honors in 2017 and third-team All-ACC honors last year, and Saturday’s call meant he gets the chance to play at the next level.
“It felt good to have an opportunity to continue to play the game at the highest level. It feels good, and I am glad I am going to Detroit,” Bryant told TigerNet.
