PITTSBURGH (AP) - Fernando Bryant, a cornerback and former
first-round draft pick who played 10 NFL seasons with the Jaguars,
Lions and Steelers, is retiring.
Bryant started 109 of the 112 NFL games he played, making seven
interceptions and recovering nine fumbles.
Bryant, from Alabama, was the No. 26 overall pick by
Jacksonville in 1999 and played five seasons with the Jaguars
before signing with the Lions as a free agent in 2004.
The 32-year-old Bryant was cut by the Patriots in training camp
last year but signed with Pittsburgh on Nov. 11, playing in two
regular season games. He was not activated for any of the Super
Bowl champion Steelers' playoff games.
Bryant signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in March
after starting cornerback Bryant McFadden left to play for Arizona.
