Austin Blythe - Good signing and contract very, very team friendly.
“Everything in wrestling translates to football,” Blythe told USA TODAY’s Jori Epstein ahead of Super Bowl LIII. “Hand placement, leverage, keeping your elbows in, bending at the knees not the hips. All that stuff translates directly to offensive-line play.”
Quote:
Sure, Blythe was a bit undersized, but he was highly decorated for the Iowa Hawkeyes during his tenure. He started 49 of 50 games played during his career and was made a permanent team captain. In his senior year, he was one of three finalists for the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the top center in college football. Sometimes those are the types of intangibles that make you a solid NFL player regardless of your draft status.
