TY MYERS

Position: OLB Class: Sr School: Illinois Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 6'3½, 236 40 Time: 4.81 Grade: 2.87

BIO: Played in 11 games as a senior totaling 37/4/2 after 36/7/1 as a junior when he started seven games. POSITIVES: Nice-sized linebacker with a good degree of upside for the next level. Solid athlete that displays decent range and the ability to make plays in all directions. Breaks down well, slides off blocks laterally and makes plays on the ball carrier. Disciplined, does not bite on play on action passes and generally squares into tackles. NEGATIVES: Not the most instinctive or quick thinking. Takes a lot of missteps and not very efficient. Minimal starting experience. ANALYSIS: Though a hard-working, competitive prospect, Myers is a defender that has not seen a lot of repetition and may not be able to handle complex defenses at the next level. Size and general athleticism make him enticing and someone that should do well on special teams. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
