Myron Pryor SELECTED BY: Patriots Round 6 (34)

SI Grade 3.43 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a senior after posting 36/11/4.5. Junior totals included 27 tackles after 42/5/6.5 as a sophomore.

POSITIVES: Stout, explosive tackle, tough to knock off his feet. Plays with excellent leverage, gets off the snap with a great first step and effectively works his hands to protect himself. Fights throughout the action, plays with good balance as well as body control. Fires through the gaps up the field, and nicely redirects to the action. Flashes the ability to bull rush opponents off the line and moves well laterally. Constantly doubled by opponents and does a solid job holding his ground.

NEGATIVES: Struggles getting off blocks once engaged at the point. Possesses more of a short burst of speed that he cannot sustain.

ANALYSIS: Pryor has been a solid player for Kentucky and the defensive lineman opponents game-plan around. His build and movement skills make him best suited as a backup three-technique lineman at the next level.

PROJECTION: Fifth Round
