Tyler Linderbaum Draft Profile
Strengths
Tyler Linderbaum is as solid of a prospect at the center position as you will see. He is incredibly athletic, looking under control and powerful both at the point of attack and in the open field. Linderbaum is a true road grater up front, using his power to move anyone. His background as a wrestler is also obvious in the way he uses his leverage and hands. There may not be a player that performs the duties of their position better in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Weaknesses
There aren’t many weaknesses in his game. He is on the smaller side, which is fine at center, but he won’t have as much success anywhere else on the offensive line, locking him into the one position that most teams won’t list as a top need. The scheme at Iowa was also perfect for his skillset, so we haven’t had to see him do anything uncomfortable or outside the scheme yet.
