Do you all honestly see him makig an impact t the next level? I think he is very small after seeing him in person he has to be every bit of 5'8 175. Guys will run over him at the next level. I see him as a good college player but not a very good NFL player

Yeah, the SEC is full of wimpy, lightweight, non-physical players.

Antoine Winfield disagrees. TM will have a long NFL career.

He's one of the toughest players I've ever seen. He's put guys twice his size on their backs. He reminds me of Antoine Winfield for size and tackling ability. I think he's quicker than Winfield though.
If he can show he can play man coverage, he will do just fine. He will also likely be someone's punt returner too.

He'll definitely find a role on a team whether it's nickel back, safety or special team ace

He'll be a good returner. That's all I see of him. College ball and grown man NFL are too different.

He could make an impact a a nickel or free safety. Both of those situations whould allow him to showcase his play making ability.

Nickel back, safety, KR, PR, gunner on special teams. He could even work in on offense in some ways.

The dude is a football player with the best ball skills I have ever seen. He might not be my starting CB, but I would definitely find a place for him somewhere. He will have a career in the NFL.

And, just because he doesn't make All-Pro, it doesn't mean that he won't be good and have a future.

Geez, the standards here are so unbelievably high. No one can meet them.

You could not be more wrong. TM7 is a killer. He will manhandle most NFL players.

TM7 is really hoping the Cowboys draft him. He is a smart cookie and looking out for his long term future by trying to take over Sam Hurd's operation on the down low.

Jim Leonhard, Bob Sanders and Antoine Winfield all said hi. His size is not the issue, his issues are. What do you think happens when he starts making money?

Everybody I know has F'd up something in their lifetime. Most of them didnt have this much to lose. I hope it turns into a success story one day.

frick no. he hits like a truck he played against some top SEC talent and did just fine. the biggest issue is his coverage skills. i think he will be a solid nickel back and great ST player.

worst case scenario:

Tyran can play at the next level if he can stay out of trouble. There have been 5'8" to 5'9" cornerbacks in the NFL. Tyran would be a good nickel back and special teams player. I believe Tyran will get in trouble again. I don't think he can help himself.
