Tyson Walter | OT | Ohio St. | Big Ten Conference
Selected by Dallas Cowboys in round 6, pick 7 (179 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'4 300 5.34 3.24
Former left tackle that could project inside to guard at the next level. Started every game as a redshirt freshman and the following two seasons before sitting out all of 2000 with a back injury. Returned last year and was rotated in with the first unit.

Intelligent lineman that plays with solid fundamentals. Blocks with forward lean, quick with his hands and keeps his feet moving in pass protection. Displays ""punch"" at the point of attack, rides defenders out of their rush angles and a patient lineman that waits for defenders to make his move instead of overextending and getting beat. Uses pass blocking angles correctly and quick recognizing what the defense is doing. Not powerful or dominant at the point of attack, has difficulty sustaining his blocks nor does he show the ability to finish off defenders. Not a natural knee bender, lacks blocking range and has difficulty against quick, nimble opponents. Best in confined quarters. A serviceable player if he adds bulk to his frame. Free Agent.
