Mel Kiper of ESPN has updated his NFL Draft Big board today, and has our man Tyler listed as his #1 center and at #13 in his list of all draft prospects.
Linderbaum is one of the best center prospects in recent memory. He can do everything, and he excels as a puller to either side. He's a fantastic run blocker. He doesn't have many weaknesses. Linderbaum allowed just one sack in the 2019 and 2020 seasons combined. He has allowed two this season, but I'm still huge fan of his game and upside regardless.
In addition, he has Tyler Goodson tied for #10 among running backs; Monte Pottebaum as #9 among fullbacks/H-backs; Jack Campbell as #6 among inside linebackers; and Riley Moss tied for #10 among cornerbacks. Kind of surprised that he doesn't have Tory Taylor listed in his top 10 for Kickers/Punters. Not too surprised after the last few weeks that he dropped Hankins out of his top 10 cornerbacks
