Justin Tryon

Strengths:
Very athletic...Great speed with a burst to close...Fluid and can flip his hips to turn and run...Can hold his own in man-to-man...Very physical...Feisty & Aggressive...A solid tackler...Gives a good effort in run support...Has experience as a return man.

Weaknesses:
Does not have the size that you look for...Marginal instincts and awareness...Can be too aggressive at times...Struggles to match up with big wideouts...Is not very strong...Does not have great hands...Limited upside...Two years of DI experience.

Notes:
As a prep he was a track All-American...JUCO transfer from College of the Canyons where he was an All-American and won a national championship...He profiles as a nickel / dime type in the NFL but could excel in that role while also contributing on special teams..Underrated prospect who could be a late round steal for someone.
