STRENGTHS

—Two-year starter at outside cornerback who has good size (5'11", 193 lbs) and man-coverage skills.

—Checks all the boxes when it comes to height, length, speed and overall size.

—All-around athlete who excels in change-of-direction situations and has the long speed to run with receivers down the field.

—Has the size and quickness to come up to play the ball in a zone scheme; uses his length well to be a disruptor. 

—Good read-and-react skills to diagnose the play and get involved in the passing game.

WEAKNESSES

—Awareness looks to be subpar given his struggles to stay with routes.

—Doesn't track the ball well and had limited production in college.

—Doesn't play with physicality at the catch point.

—Lets receivers run past him despite having the size and speed to run with the best of the best.

—Gives up so much space to receivers during the route.

OVERALL

Pride's athleticism gives him NFL-starter potential, but his awareness and instincts will prevent him from getting on the field right away. He has the physical traits to develop and could surprise and become an early-career starter, but he has to clean up his technique down the field to live up to his potential.

GRADE: 64

PRO COMPARISON: Kareem Jackson/D.J. Hayden

Kiper's only knock on him was that there were times he could've made a huge play or turnover and it just didn't happen.

Sounds like he has all the tools and is in the right place at the right time.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
