NFL brass has proven itself —over and over—to take a chance on players with a small body of work at the college level, and great upside. They also tend to reach for players in two key positions: Quarterback, and edge rusher. UW linebacker/DE Joe Tryon checks a lot of boxes, and is a guy who started this draft process as a late 2nd or 3rd round prospect. But as teams re-evaluate their needs, and consider what Tryon could be, don’t be shocked if he is taken earlier (maybe day one?) in the 2021 draft.
The 6’5” 264 pound Tryon played just 25 college games.
