2025 RECAP
The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX behind a crushing defense that didn’t allow opposing offenses much and Bryant played a key role.
A former fourth-round pick out of Cincinnati, Bryant turned in a career year. He intercepted a career-high four passes, forced a fumble and made 66 tackles. Against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, Bryant contributed four tackles and a pass breakup.
The season allowed him to hit free agency as the best safety on the board and one of the top 30 free agents overall. His speed, profile and versatility caught the eye of defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who will pair him with rookie Dillon Thieneman with both players capable of playing either safety position.
Bryant is the first high-profile free agent signed by the Bears directly after winning a Super Bowl since Eagles tight end Trey Burton in 2018.
