This X 1,000. Haven't heard Christian speak that much but he is well spoken and seems very genuine. Really rooting for a big year for Christian Bryant...way to step up into the spotlight for us!

Thirded. I'm really hoping for big things out of CB this year. With Roby's status up in the air (for now) we are going to need someone in the secondary to be a leader in the secondary. Having another senior next to him won't hurt either. I'm eager to see how Bell fits in with these two as well.

So is Christian looking at the microphone there, or past the microphone.......

As soon as I heard about the new rule on above the shoulder hits, I thought of Christian. We love him for his "all-out" style, but that sometimes leads to missed assignments and long pass completions. But above all, he is the guy who is most likely to forget and blast a receiver in the head - and he will be gone.

DB's are going to have to be very, very disciplined to avoid missing significant quarters this year. Not sure that kind of discipline is Christian's strong suit. Vonn Bell better be ready.

SS Christian Bryant (5-10, 192, 4.46)
Although he's not the biggest or fastest, Bryant is a tough and talented football player who is one of the more underrated Big Ten senior prospects entering the year. A former cornerback, Bryant has lined up mostly at strong safety and nickel defensive back over his time in Columbus and makes his presence known with his aggressive nature and range to cover a lot of ground, playing with a chip on his shoulder.

Incredible transformation: Ohio State senior Christian Bryant serves as defense's spark

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Christian Bryant has long solidified himself as the biggest hitter on the back end of Ohio State’s defense, but he has been prone to missed tackles.

He is an efficient defender, but he hasn’t had enough interceptions.

And he’s an Ohio State captain, but he is one of eight.

“Christian has a passion for the game and he is a great leader,” redshirt freshman defensive back Tyvis Powell said. “There are no buts about it.”

Respected voice
Lacking maturity as a younger player, safety Christian Bryant has grown into a leadership role with the Buckeyes

By Bill Rabinowitz
The Columbus DispatchFriday September 6, 2013

• It didn’t really occur to Christian Bryant in the moment.
  
  For a large part of last week’s opener against Buffalo, Bryant was the only returning starter on the field for the Ohio State defense.
  
  “It was kind of weird,” the senior safety from Cleveland said. "I’m not going to lie. But I really didn’t honestly notice until we got on the sideline and I was looking for Ryan (Shazier) because I wanted to ask him about another play."
  
  Bryant was informed that Shazier, a junior linebacker, had been taken to the locker room to treat cramps. With Ohio State’s once-big lead in some peril after a Buffalo comeback, Bryant knew all the preparation he’d done for this moment was needed.
  
  “I felt that was a time for me to show a big step up in leadership on the team, just showing the guys I can be there whenever they need me,” Bryant said. “I told them I’m always going to be behind them.”
