Tryon has the tools to be successful at the next level but is somewhat raw. Many experts believe he should have played in 2020 to develop his game further. Tryon’s limited set of moves will hold him back initially, as will his periodic lack of aggressiveness.
Because Tryon is strong and fast, scouts believe that he could become a top pass rusher with proper development and coaching. He’s both strong and fast. His explosiveness off the ball, combined with high effort and a non-stop motor, make Tryon very attractive to NFL teams.
Prospects 1.0
It’s somewhat ironic the Tryon, like Onwuzurike, is favored to go to Tampa Bay. Cleveland would be a better home. Playing opposite Myles Garrett would create some interesting opportunities to get to the quarterback. Even if he goes to the Browns in Round 2, it’s still a good fit.
Tryon chooses violence on every play. There’s not an ounce of hesitation or softness in his game. He’s going to attack blockers with reckless abandon. At 6-foot-5 and just over 260 pounds, that’s a winning combination. Tryon was trending up in a big way toward the end of 2019, posting 29 pressures in his final seven games after only 12 in his first six outings. – Mike Renner, Pro Football Focus.
