It didn’t take long for new Cowboys defensive lineman Brent Urban to bring up the Red Bryant role. In his press conference on Thursday, it took Urban all of 30 seconds to mention former Seahawks standout Red Bryant, a seven-year veteran who was a vital, albeit underrated, part of Seattle’s legendary Legion of Boom defense.
Bryant actually predated the Pete Carroll era of Seahawks football, being drafted in the fourth round of the 2008 draft. At nearly 330 pounds, Bryant was drafted to be a nose tackle, not unlike new Cowboys rookie Quinton Bohanna.
