Overview

A two-year starter for ASU after an All-American junior college career at College of the Canyons, Tryon has the speed to be an effective NFL nickel or dime corner. Teams are always looking for cover corners who can stick with slot receivers, and Tryon could perform that duty.

Analysis

Strengths

Positives: Fits as a slot corner because of his tough attitude and speed. ... Adequate recovery speed when receiver makes a double-move. ... Good hand-eye coordination and closing speed to knock away passes. ... Confident in his ability and will not back down from a challenge. ... A willing cut tackler on outside runs. ... A good special teams gunner, although it may be tougher for him to get downfield in the NFL. Negatives: His small stature and lack of strength will hurt him against larger NFL receivers. ... Very inconsistent hands for the interception, and does not always high-point the ball as he could. ... Had three picks in 2007 but could have made another four or five. ... Gives a potential kick return option due to his speed, and he averaged 27.7 yards on 12 returns at ASU. However, his lack of strength is an issue for running through tackles and ball security.
