absolutely belongs in this group because his ability to force missed tackles is very real, and the numbers back it up in a big way. After a monster sophomore season that saw him clear 2,000 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns, the production speaks for itself; but what really makes him fun to watch is how he gets those yards. A lot of backs who force that many missed tackles do it with violent, sharp cuts that jump off the screen. Bryant’s style is different. He’s so fluid through his changes of direction that the whole thing looks like it’s almost moving in slow motion sometimes, like he’s gliding around defenders while everyone else is scrambling to catch up. He doesn’t look rushed, even when things get messy in the box. He can work through traffic, slide through tight spaces, and keep his balance without the play ever feeling chaotic. It’s controlled, patient, and smooth the entire way through. Then once he does find that crease, he’s got the burst to immediately stress a defense and the long speed to erase angles in a hurry. What also makes him interesting is the size he brings for a back with this kind of movement style. He’s not a tiny finesse back surviving strictly on wiggle. He’s built well enough to handle contact and finish runs, but he rarely has to rely on brute force because his feet, pacing, and body control usually solve the problem before a defender ever gets him squared up. That’s really the best way to describe his game — smooth. The cuts are smooth, the acceleration out of them is smooth, and the way he navigates traffic makes everything look easier than it actually is.
