In the least surprising development of the 2020 NFL season, the New England Patriots found another serviceable undrafted rookie cornerback.
The Patriots signed defensive back Myles Bryant out of Washington after he wasn’t selected in the 2020 NFL Draft this spring. He initially was waived and signed to the Patriots’ practice squad, but with open spots on the 53-man roster, Bryant was promoted this week.
His first assignment: Run around and pretend to be quarterback Russell Wilson as the Patriots’ starting defense prepares for the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.
“You have a guy like Myles (Bryant), who’s very slippery, very athletic and so he’s trying to imitate Russell Wilson right there with them,” Patriots linebacker Brandon Copeland said Friday.
