Pats Sign Ex-Crimson Tide Standout Fernando Bryant
The New England Patriots signed free agent cornerback and ex-Crimson Tide standout Fernando Bryant, a former first-round draft pick who has played nine years with Jacksonville and Detroit.
The 30-year-old Bryant started every game for the Lions last year and had 76 tackles - the most since his rookie season – while tying a career-high with a pair of interceptions. The 5-foot-10,
184-pound cornerback from Alabama has seven interceptions, seven fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles in his career.
The Patriots lost two of their top free cornerbacks last season to free agency: Asante Samuel to Philadelphia and Randall Gay to New Orleans. Ellis Hobbs is the only one remaining from that group.
