Everyone loves a good comeback story.

Washington Commanders receiver Martavis Bryant got his first snaps in an NFL game in six years.

He made the most of his opportunity as he scored on a four-yard touchdown catch in the final minutes of Sunday's 20-10 preseason win over the New England Patriots.

Bryant finished the contest with three catches for 20 yards and the score. He also drew a couple of pass interference calls on the defense.

"You feel his size," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said about Bryant's ability. "You feel the competitive nature."

Bryant believes he can still be an asset in the NFL despite now being 32 years old.

“I got a lot of football left,” Bryant told Queen City News last month. “Still love the game, never stopped loving the game. I had to take some time to reflect on myself and get my situation straight off the field. I did that. I put in a lot of work. There’s still so much left I can do. I know I can contribute to somebody that wants to give me the opportunity.”

Bryant was drafted in the fourth round by the Steelers in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Clemson.
