Cullen Bryant Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 16, 2009.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cullen Bryant, who spent 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, was a running back on their 1980 Super Bowl team and fought the NFL's trading rules to remain in town, has died. He was 58.

Unknown to his family, Bryant had been under a doctor's care when he died Tuesday at his home in Colorado Springs, Colo., said his sister-in-law, Wanda E. Bryant. She did not supply other details.

Bryant was the Rams' second-round draft pick in 1973. He played with the team until 1982, was with the Seattle Seahawks in 1983 and 1984 and returned to the Rams for his last pro season in 1987.

In 13 NFL seasons, Bryant scored 23 rushing and receiving touchdowns and ran back kickoffs for three others. He ran for 3,264 yards in 849 carries, and caught 148 passes for 1,176 yards.

He ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the 1980 Super Bowl, which the Rams lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-19.

At 6-foot-1 and 234 pounds, he was the biggest player of the time to regularly return kickoffs.

"When Cullen hits those holes, nobody wants to stick their nose in there," teammate Jack Youngblood told the Los Angeles Times in 1979. "Those little 180-pound (defensive backs) just jump on his back when he runs by."

"He was an outstanding person with great character traits," said Chuck Knox, Bryant's coach with both the Rams and Seahawks. "When we asked him to do certain things, he'd do them. He never complained about anything. When he got that big body moving, it was something else, and he had muscles on top of muscles."

Born William Cullen Bryant on May 20, 1951, in Fort Sill, Okla., Bryant attended high school in Colorado Springs and played football at Colorado University, where he received consensus All-American recognition.

In 1975, only two years after going to the Rams, Bryant went to federal court to challenge the right of then-NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle to order him off the team. The Rams had signed former Detroit Lions receiver Ron Jessie. Under the "Rozelle Rule" on free agents, the team signing a free agent had to compensate the team that lost the player. If the teams couldn't agree on compensation, the commissioner had the power to award either draft choices or players. He decided Bryant should go to Detroit.

At the behest of Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom, Bryant went to court in Los Angeles. A judge was unsympathetic to the NFL's position during a hearing, and the league backed off several days later before a ruling could be made.

The Rozelle Rule eventually was modified.

Bryant, who was divorced, is survived by three brothers; two adult sons, William Cullen Jr. and Brandon, and a 13-year-old daughter, Brianna.

I used to babysit for Colin and his when they only had c. Jay junior and there he was, the nicest. Most soft-spoken generous man. I had ever met and he was huge.
That was in Lafayette, Colorado. We had a great time babysitting and I never would have thought your health would have been an issue rest in peace, my friend.

I'm watching Thursday Night Football. Rams are out playing the Vikings and Todd Gurley running back for the Rams reminds me of Cullen Bryant when he was the running back for the Rams. I was Cullen's Hair Stylist, I kept him Stylin Smilin and Profilin. He was always the Ultimate Professional Gentlemen, on and off the field. RIP Cullen.

Saw him hit someone in a game at Iowa State, prob. 1971 or 2 and it rang or boomed thru the whole stadium, unreal.

I remembered him playing at LA against the Cowboys and got to meet him in 2001 when I was working temporarily at Intel in Colorado Springs. It was a great experience to get to talk to him.

For Cullen...

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain ... on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers' arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night, and, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments, and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled in the arms of God. I walk with the angels and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you: I am peace, love. I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumn's leaf that floats in the garden of God. And I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me,
For I shall never die,
As long as you remember me ...
With a smile and a sigh.

Sam and the Bryant family, my condolences to you on your loss. As evidenced by the testimonials here, Cullen has shown us that it is not the quantity of life that God has given us but the quality that we live that life. My remembrance of Cullen is of an easy going and kind kid I met at Helen Hunt elementary and ran track with at South Jr. The qualities that people loved about him as a man and football player took root long before I met him. May he rest in peace.

My prayers and condonlences to the Bryant family. I live in Colorado Springs (a transplant from St. Louis) and Cullen and I talked everyday about football. I am a city bus driver and Cullen rode my bus (sometimes with his daughter, Brianna). He is a caring father and a friend to all that know him. His smile, his consideration of others and his daughters look of pride in her eyes when she was with her father will always be with me because no matter what ounce of fame and fortune Cullen may have had, he was always down to earth and respectful to all that was around him. Thank you Cullen for touching my life and to everyone that had the blessing to know you.

Mr. Bryant was one of many childhood heroes of mine. He was the star running back on my team when we played the 70's version of Fantsy Football. I hope his family is doing well, and that they know he meant something (in at least a small way) to more people than they will ever know.

I'm very sorry to have read in the obituaries that Cullen Bryant passed. Even though I have not met your family, I sympathize and hope everything is going as well as can be expected. One thing we can learn as life goes on is how strong and sure God's love is, always ready to comfort and heal. With deepest sympathy and a prayer that his love will be with the family in a special way. May God comfort you at this time of sorrow and bless you through the days ahead. Our Father above loves us so much And will never leave us alone He will not forsake us in our need To face this on our own, For all things you will have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to you.
(Philippians 4:13)

October 21, 2009

My condolences to the immediate Bryant family and all of his relatives. I recall teaching Cullen and his brothers in Sunday school at Payne Chapel AME. I was very proud of his career at CU and professionally, as he was from my hometown and I once new him. From all accounts, he became a wonderful man. He set an example for the children of colorado Springs. God Bless his Soul.

Please know that his family can still be encouraged by the hope found in God's word, particularly these word...Mat. 5:28-29 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".
