2018 NFL Draft: Prospects who should rise after Scouting Combine

Tyrell Crosby is somewhat undersized for a tackle at just under 6’5″, but if that’s all you’re looking at, you’re missing the bigger picture. Crosby has a wide frame, gargantuan arms, and gigantic hands—all of which he utilizes to manhandle defenders at the line of scrimmage.

If you think those adjectives are too extreme to describe Crosby, just look at the measurements he’s already posted at the Scouting Combine.

With a near 7’0″ wingspan and hands that flirt with 11 inches, Crosby is the type of physical presence whom coaches would love to have on the roster. Even if he can’t be a tackle, he’ll have the size, strength, and length to overwhelm opponents at guard.

You can help a player improve their footwork and recognize incoming blitzes, but you can’t teach an elite combination of length, hand size, and strength.

Crosby has experience in a dynamic offense that featured a mobile quarterback and a variety of running backs. That makes him a compelling figure in the 2018 NFL Draft, as he can enter a traditional or modernized offense and experience success.

Crosby is projected by most as a late second or early third-round draft pick, but he may end up with a late Round 1 or early Round 2 grade by the end of the Scouting Combine.
