An Under The Radar OT Prospect

So who is this mystery man? Duvernay-Tardif — who goes by "Larry" — came to McGill as a 253-pound defensive lineman as a freshman before being switched over to the offensive side. Since then, he has settled in at left tackle and become a dominant force. First, CFL teams started paying notice, but now the NFL is all over him, too.

 

Nine NFL teams watched Duvernay-Tardif at a private workout on Thursday and saw a 6-foot-5, 298-pound player turn in 40-yard dash times of 4.94 to 5.08 seconds, post 34 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, turn in a 4.59-second shuttle time and broad jump 9 feet, 6 inches. The teams attending — Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals — had to come away impressed. 

 

Those workout numbers would have placed him among the top performers at the NFL scouting combine had Duvernay-Tardif been invited. Only Tennessee's Antonio Richardson (36 reps) did more on the bench among tackles. Only a handful of tackles, including projected first-rounders Greg Robinson of Auburn and Taylor Lewan of Michigan, ran faster 40s. The shuttle time would have been top five. Only Lewan had a better broad jump.

 

From McGill University.

Keenan Allen was right under their nose...

 

Sigh.

 

Not even the team that stepped up and drafted him was willing to use more than a 3rd, so what magic should Gettleman have had to do something no other NFL team was willing to do and draft him in the second?

 

Not to mention we didn't exactly bomb the pick.

Plus he needed injuries to the two guys starting ahead of him to make an impact

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one.

      Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position.

      Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
