Overview

When Nick Saban, the greatest college football coach of all-time, wants a player in the transfer portal to play the most important position on the offense outside of quarterback NFL teams should pay attention and when Tyler Steen puts his pads and cleats on you can tell he's ready to play. He certainly looks the part of an NFL left tackle and has demeanor of one of the field but tempering his raging bull style of play on the field while also coaching him up and considerably polishing his game will be a tough task for any organization because he needs a considerable amount work. However, players with his description often make an impact in the NFL because his bullish style of play will translate, and likely translate well. He's currently a project in the NFL draft and a team with some patience and quality coaching should have him higher on their board than most teams.
