Scouting Notes
- Quick with great mobility.
- Plays thin, defenders get right around him or through his shoulders easily.
- Seems small, which affects his power and anchor. Both are subpar at best.
- Awful counters to pass-rush moves, Wypler ended up on the ground a lot.
- Struggles to get his hands strikes right.
- At his best, he managed.
Short Summary
Luke Wypler is viewed as a polished and technically sound player. Unfortunately, I saw way too many flaws on tape to call him “technically sound”. Many areas of his technical game are flawed, and from a physical standpoint, I don’t think he will be able to manage with the pros. He is small and lacks the power to overcome his smaller stature. He should be selected on Day 2, but no earlier than Round 3, and only thanks to his professional “upbringing” at Ohio State.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- Percentiles in the Advanced Stats portion for cumulative stats are snap-adjusted. In other words, naturally, a player with more snaps will allow more sacks. Therefore, the percentiles are calculated using the snap-adjusted number, rather than the straight-forward total.
- PBLK Grade – PFF Pass Block Grade.
- RBLK Grade – PFF Run Block Grade.
- HitA, HurryA, PressA, SacksA – Hits Allowed, Hurries Allowed, Pressures Allowed, Sacks Allowed.
