fairwell Harrison Bryant

Seeing as he’s had 9 catches in 3 years I think it’s safe to say he’s a blocking TE

He already signed elsewhere.

Probably. Stefanski lined up Bryant in the backfield at times so I'll assume you might see that there as well. Plus, he apparently had played some FB anyways.

Didn't see that ... thanks Memphis

Ricci is going to need to add "QB sneak artist" to his repertoire with Bryant signing elsewhere.

I'm biased as I was getting really tired of the Harrison Bryant experiment last year... but I felt like this was really all Bryant was bringing to the table last season. Overall, he seemed like a VERY mediocre tight end. To that end, Ricci seems like a more purpose-built player for role that we had Bryant in last season.

we needed a replacement FB with harris/Bryant gone.

He has a name like he should be a chef.

I watch quite a bit of football and had never heard of him lol

Unfair as this is to Bryant, I can't get past his major drop in the first Steeler game on the first series. Right in his hands, knocks it into the air, right to a Steeler with an easy path to the end zone.

I did enjoy the creativity on short yardage plays when he lined up under center. We ran at least 3 totally different plays from that formation, and it worked a lot. I am pretty sure defenses had no idea what play was coming next when we lined up.

I keep picturing Giovanni Ribisi...

From looking at PFF he mostly plays on Special Teams on the kickoff/Punt returns and the coverage units.

Don't worry. It won't be too long before someone on here says he is better than Njoku.

While I consider Ribisi a pretty good actor I haven't see his 40 time or his highlight reel. I also can't find any stats on him. But I'm willing to keep an open mind.

Sneaky Pete

Where he was always way out in front of would-be tacklers.
