One of the most electrifying receivers in Pitt history, Bryant earned the 2000 Biletnikoff Award as the nation's outstanding pass catcher and was named a consensus All-American. He shared Big East Offensive Player of the Year honors that same season. Bryant led the country in receiving yards in 2000, averaging 130.2 yards per game, a figure that climbed to a Pitt-record 132.5 per game including bowl play. He capped his college career as the Most Valuable Player of the 2001 Tangerine Bowl, catching seven passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-19 victory over NC State. Bryant departed as Pitt's all-time leader in career receiving yards (3,061) and receiving touchdowns (30). The Dallas Cowboys selected him in the second round of the NFL Draft, and he went on to play seven professional seasons.
