Doublezero Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 He retired long ago, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant didn't have much left in the tank when we brought him in, but he gave what he had left. Definitely doesn't deserve to be compared to Ralph. My lasting image of him in his 2nd stint here will be chasing down a db running back a nearly sure td in a blowout loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe that's just my untrained football eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm going to miss dear old Romby - not as much as our QB crew missed him on his routes, but I'll miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Romby Bryant did some really great things during his first stint as a Bomber, and I for one thank him for great and loyal service to the WBB FC! mbrg, Mr. Perfect, MOBomberFan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 My enduring memory of Romby is from a late 2008 game where an Eskimo DL took a serious late hit / cheap shot on Kevin Glenn and Romby was the only guy who really strongly objected after the play. He took like a 30-yard full-speed run at the guy all the way from the end of his route. Weird to see the skinny little rookie deep-ball threat be the only guy really standing up for his QB, but the 2008 Bombers were a really passive team.

IC Khari Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'll always remember Dinwiddle's first game against the Stamps and the winning TD to Bryant in the last seconds of the game ... that was basically Ryan's career highlight LOL and Bryant's coming out party with the Bombers ...

mbrg Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Players not being as good at the end of their careers as they were at the start is how sports normally works. Hope he enjoys his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourface Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sad to see him go. He was one of my favourites when I first started following the Bombers. Seems like a great guy too. Arjei Franklin paid tribute to him on his Facebook page: I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about a great teammate and better friend Romby Bryant. I was blessed to be teammates with Romby for 5 straight years across two teams. I can tell you this. Romby is one of the hardest working athletes I have ever met. He is also one of the most talented players I have come across. But what is most important is that he is as real as they come. A straight shooter and loyal friend.Ill never forget the time Romby decided on his own that he was going volunteer at a soup kitchen. He didn't ask for a jersey to wear. There were no cameras our interviews. All he wanted to do was volunteer his time as any other person would. I know that Romby would never share these types of things as he is too humble. But I felt it was important that people know that this guy has a genuine heart to help others. If you look through this guys Facebook page you won't see one football pic. Only pics of his family. What is most important to him is not the glamour of being a football star but simply the relationships in his life. So as a former teammate and life long friend I want to say congratulations on an unbelievable career. Salute! johnzo, TBURGESS, HardCoreBlue and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
