Bryan Jamaile Fletcher (born March 23, 1979) is a former American football tight end. He played college football for UCLA, and was drafted in the 6th round of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. Fletcher won Super Bowl XLI with the Indianapolis Colts over the Bears.

Bryan graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and later received a Master of Business Administration in Finance from The Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. After college, Bryan spent several years in the National Football League where his career culminated in the 2006 Super Bowl championship with the Indianapolis Colts organization. During his time with the Colts, Bryan was very active in the community, donating his time visiting local schools and hospitals engaging in uplifting discussions and sharing his life experiences. With a mindset on public service, Bryan also participated in one of the first international internships ever for an NFL player with his service at The U.S. Embassy in Madrid, Spain and with NFL Mexico. Fluent in Spanish, Bryan continues to seek opportunities to impact the lives of youth within the U.S. and Mexico.

He spent much of his post-professional football career in the financial industry. Most recently, Bryan worked in Manhattan, New York where he was responsible for managing a portfolio of high net-worth clients. During his tenure, he was instrumental in introducing an innovative coverage strategy that allowed the firm to more efficiently meet the needs of a broad array of clients. His initiative and innovative thinking quickly positioned Bryan as a leader amongst his peers and led to him being chosen to participate in the “Step Up To Lead” program for future leaders within the company.

Currently, Bryan is an active volunteer within the San Diego community and serves on the San Diego County Civil Service Commission.

Fletcher was sworn into office as a member of the California delegation of the United States Electoral College, which is known as the California College of Presidential Electors, for one day, December 14, 2020, representing California's 53rd congressional district. He cast his vote for United States President for Joe Biden and his vote for Vice President of the United States for Kamala Harris.
