Thipen's coach from Coastal Carolina gave a interview to 610 and told a story about Philly coming in to take a look at Tyler. He said the Philly scout really didn't seem all that impressed with Tyler and right before he left he asked Tyler to stand on the 50 yard line and try to hit the cross bar standing flat footed and thsy he only had 1 chance. Thigpen stood flat footed on the 50 and chucked the ball which clanked off the crossbar. The scout asked Tyler to do it again and Tyler said 'you said I only had 1 shot".
