STRENGTHS
Tyson is that long-legged, long arm corner, teams are looking for at the next level. He does a good job in one on one coverage with the ability to flip his hips and run with just about any big receiver at the next level. Tyson does a good job tackling and is a willing tackler on sweeps to his side of the field. He shows a good burst to the ball with the ability to shed blocks and make tackles when he anticipates the play coming at him. Tyson is a pure outside corner with the ability to move inside on third and long downs but only to cover big receivers. Overall, Tyson has good potential because of his size and speed to be a solid corner at the next level for the team that selects him.
CONCERNS
Tyson is a penalty machine waiting to happen and has no confidence at all, in his techniques the further he goes down the field. He also struggles with his long strides, changing direction and he gives up separation on the quick routes and stop and go routes easily. Tyson hasn’t played much zone, so learning those techniques at the next level will be imperative to him succeeding, at the next level.
BOTTOM LINE 3.67
Tyson is easy to beat on third and long downs. All you have to do is throw long and he will hold the receiver and force the referee to call a penalty. On the deep balls, as soon as he feels the ball coming, or looks back for the ball, he holds on to the receiver like a mother holding on to a baby in the maternity ward for the first time. On third and short all you have to do is take off like your going deep, get him to flip his hips, and then stop and come back to the ball. He will get beat every time. Tyson could be a solid corner with experience, good coaching if he is willing to learn, and realize that he most likely will not be a shutdown corner for the team that selects him. That doesn’t mean he can’t be a good corner, just not the type he thinks he might be.
