Bryant, a former fourth-round pick, played for the Lions for four years and appeared in 33 games, recording 65 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and two passes defended.
In 2021, he showed promise as a pass-rusher with 4.5 sacks in 14 games, but the Lions' defensive retooling pushed him down the depth chart in 2022.

With the 49ers, Bryant is expected to fill a rotational role similar to the one he previously held.
