Antonio Bryant is About to Break Out

Antonio Bryant is about to break out, so writes Mike Henry of the Bradenton Herald.

He’s been slowly getting better, slowly catching more and more passes. So it’s not without reason to suggest that Bucs wide receiver Antonio Bryant is on the cusp of breaking out, so writes Mike Henry of the Bradenton Herald.

As Henry, a noted horseman, suggests, sometimes it’s wise to forget the past and concentrate on the present. Henry infers this is what Chucky is doing in relation to Bryant.

“Everybody at some point probably doesn’t agree with some authority,” Gruden said of Bryant’s off-field problems, which included a late-2006 arrest in which he was charged with reckless driving, driving under the influence and resisting arrest, leading to a four-game suspension.

“Maybe in hindsight, Antonio could have used better judgment. But I don’t want to rehash the past. I can only judge what he has done here. I think he recognizes the future is now and he has to take advantage of this opportunity.

What Bryant has done in the past pales in comparison to the King of Turds. But Bryant thus far has been, from all accounts, a model citizen and an even better receiver. With the White Tiger’s status a mystery and so many Bucs wide receivers getting banged up, Bryant has a rare opportunity to go from backup to star in just a few games.
