FILM EVALUATION
WHAT SHOWS UP ON FILM
Tylen’s film shows a powerful, athletic trench player whose first-step quickness, functional strength and body control translate across interior defensive line play and offensive pass protection.
EXPLOSIVE GET-OFF + BACKSIDE PURSUIT
Triggers immediately off the snap, works through interior congestion with balance and strength, then redirects through traffic to pursue the play from the backside.
VIOLENT HANDS + LEVERAGE CONTROL
Strikes first with force, transfers lower-body power through contact and maintains leverage while working laterally before using a clean hump move to disengage and finish.
PASS PRO FOOTWORK + MIRROR ABILITY
Gets quickly into his set with active feet and a controlled base, mirrors the rusher without overextending and recovers balance while maintaining hand control through the rep.
DEVELOPMENTAL FOCUS
WHAT COMES NEXT
Areas that can help Tylen continue developing his complete two-way trench profile.
01
PASS PRO ANCHOR
Continue strengthening his ability to absorb and redirect interior power while maintaining base width, square shoulders and consistent pocket depth.
02
HAND COUNTER SEQUENCING
Continue developing secondary hand responses when blockers disrupt his initial strike, allowing him to transition more efficiently into sheds and counters.
03
SECOND-LEVEL CONTROL
Refine approach angles and body control when working into space so his movement ability and physicality translate consistently against quicker defenders.
FILM EVALUATION SUMMARY
THE OVERALL PICTURE
Tylen’s film presents a physical, explosive lineman whose first-step quickness, violent hands and leverage discipline allow him to create disruption and control engagement at the line of scrimmage. His functional strength, balance through contact and motor consistently show up when working through traffic and pursuing plays from the interior.
On offense, his light feet and controlled base stand out in pass protection, allowing him to mirror movement and recover positioning without sacrificing hand control. Continued development in pass-pro anchor, hand counter sequencing and second-level control can help him build upon a versatile trench skill set that already translates to both sides of the football.
