Ty Summers NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Green Bay Packers' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Intelligent player who understands angles in space.

—Four years of experience in Big 12.

—Semifinalist for 2018 Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award (the NCAA version of the Walter Payton award).

—Positional versatility between on- and off-ball LB; played some DE at TCU in 2018; could be seen as a 4-3 "Sam" if he puts on weight.

WEAKNESSES

—Stiff and limited overall athlete who will struggle against NFL talent.

—Block-destruction technique is limited and will have him washed out of interior run support.

—Doesn't play with enough leverage and weight under pads through the finishing phase of contact.

—Balance is a major concern and leaves him unable to drop weight for smooth changes of direction.

OVERALL

Summers doesn't have a calling card powerful enough to warrant much more than a late Day 3 pick. He has experience and decent instincts, but his overall athleticism and technique isn't where it needs to be. His best bet is to land a rookie tryout and convince a team to develop him on the practice squad.

GRADE: 5.50 (ROUND 6 - BACKUP CALIBER)
