Bryant caught one of three targets for nine yards in Week 18's 21-16 win over the Bengals.
Bryant saw his three-game touchdown streak end, but the second-year tight end had a pair of red-zone targets, giving him five looks inside the 20 over the final four weeks of the season. He didn't make a big splash in 2021, settling in as the No. 3 tight end, but he managed to post numbers similar to his mildly surprising rookie campaign of 2020 when he out-snapped David Njoku. Bryant finished the campaign with 21 catches on 28 targets for 233 yards and those three late-season TDs. Looking ahead to 2022, both he and Austin Hooper are under contract, and there's talk that the Browns will bring back Njoku as well. That would mean little change among the position group. If Njoku doesn't return, then Bryant likely takes on a larger role next season.
