Browns DL Desmond Bryant embracing leadership role under Hue Jackson

Desmond Bryant finds himself as something of the elder statesman in the Browns defensive line room these days. The 30-year-old is entering his fourth season in Cleveland and first under Hue Jackson, whom players and coaches say has brought a new energy to Berea lately.

Consider Bryant — who played for Jackson in 2011 during a four-season stint in Oakland — among the many who feel reinvigorated as the team prepares for training camp in late July.

“I remember him coming out with that same passion and energy every day, he brings it. He's ready to go and ready to work,” Bryant said earlier this month during the Browns’ offseason workouts.
