For the first time since the 2017 season, Dez Bryant played in an actual NFL game and he was very appreciative of the opportunity.

About two weeks ago, Bryant was signed by the Baltimore Ravens and was active for the team’s 24-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Bryant only saw a few snaps, but he was still excited after the game.

Dez Bryant has not been used much so far in his Ravens debut.

Bryant was on the field for 2 of the Ravens' 25 offensive snaps in the first half, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

There have been four other Baltimore WRs who played more snaps than Bryant in the first half.

“It’s surreal,” Bryant said after the game, via The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec. “Just being back in the locker room, just being on the sideline, just being here with these guys, it’s exciting. Seeing the game up close versus just watching it on TV; I felt my competitive spirit come back alive. I’m just excited.”
