ROBERT REYNOLDS

Position: OLB Class: Sr School: Ohio St. Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 6'3½, 251 40 Time: 4.79 Grade: 3.31 Selected by Tennessee Titans Round 5, pick 33 (165 overall)

BIO: Finished third on the team in tackles as a senior with 81/9/2. Numbers the prior season were 62/3.5/1. POSITIVES: Tough, run-defending linebacker best in the box. Quick diagnosing the action, breaks down well and plays with balance. Flies around the football, works very hard and rarely off his feet. Takes good angles to the action and displays solid range. Effective on kick coverage. NEGATIVES: Not an efficient defender and better making plays up the field than in reverse. ANALYSIS: With adequate size-speed numbers, Reynolds has the abilities to grow into a complete linebacker but needs to improve his skills when the ball's in the air. Solid back-up at the next level. PROJECTION: Late Seventh Round
