2022 NFL Draft Prospect Report: Tyler Linderbaum

“With an extensive wrestling background, it’s absolutely no surprise that Tyler Linderbaum plays like a man with twenty more pounds on his frame. Technically proficient in pretty much every aspect of the center position, Linderbaum maximises his effectiveness by winning the leverage battle, getting his feet and hands in the right places, and complementing his brute strength with an unmatched desire to win every play. At his best when he’s tasked with blocking on the move and able to use his rare athleticism, Linderbaum is almost certainly more suited to an inside/outside zone blocking scheme where he can attack the hips of defenders. Slightly undersized with short arms, the former Hawkeye has done a tremendous job in accommodating his physical shortcomings, and is an instant starter in the NFL.”
