Bryan Millard was undrafted but joined the Seattle Seahawks after an impressive two seasons in the USFL. He would go on to spend eight seasons with Seattle, becoming an eventual mainstay at right guard. Millard started 99 of his 121 career games, all with the Seahawks.

According to the Amarillo Globe-News, four teams contacted Millard to bring him into the NFL, and he picked the Seahawks. "The way I made the team in 1984 was because they expanded the rosters from 45 to 49 players,” he told the Globe-News.

By the 1986 season, Millard was a regular starter for the ‘Hawks. He was dependable and durable, playing in at least 15 games in six of the next seven seasons. He was a driving force behind the consistent success of star running back Curt Warner, who rushed for a career-high 1,481 yards in Millard’s first season as a regular starter. He also was a key pass protector for quarterback Dave Krieg in two of his Pro Bowl seasons in 1988 and 1989.

Millard was considered to be an underrated offensive lineman overall, but his reliability and sturdiness was recognized in United Press International in 1988, when UPI named him as a second-team All-Conference guard. 1n 1997, he was named as the best offensive lineman in franchise history in an NFL.com poll, and he was also named to the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team on Seahawks.com in 2010.
