Professional Career
Bryan signed with the Ravens as a rookie free agent on July 28, 2011. After clearing waivers at the end of summer camp, he quickly resigned with the Ravens to join their practice squad. In September 2012, Bryan was elevated to the official 53-man roster. He made his regular season debut and recorded his first career tackle on October 21, 2012 against the Houston Texans. Bryan saw action in five games this season, recording 3 tackles.
Loyal to A-State

Byran has agreed to share his experiences this week with the A-State fan base. Throughout the week, he will be answering questions submitted by ASU fans and uploading photos from behind the scenes of the spectacle that is Super Bowl week.
