The Patriots are expected to need multiple defensive backs against some of the NFL's top quarterbacks in the new few weeks, and Bryant should provide some versatility for the team.

He appeared in a total of 39 games, recording 177 tackles, four interceptions, three forced fumbles, and three and a half sacks, according to Wikipedia.
