Tampa Bay Makes Joe Tryon a First-Rounder,

[dnc]

@dnc Yah, exactly, he’s been decent ~ not one of the biggest busts in history, [i specialize in dramatic overstatements] i was just curious about what his progress has been and thought it might be of interest to others.
Probably the more accurate description of his status is stated in some of the comments below the article ~ the key point being made seems by a number of posters that to be the scheme which features him being dropped into coverage as opposed to closing down the edge or getting the sack

Totally fair. I think they'd obviously pick somebody different if they had it to do over again. But yes the scheme has not played into his strengths either.

Tryon was an underwear Olympics champion but barely played at UW before entering the draft. Tampa took a big risk drafting him so early as he was nowhere near being fully developed as a player. He was just a big, fast strong dude with a ton of potential.

Tampa wanted to Try him on for size.
Get it?
Lolz.
