Here’s What Tyler Onyedim Said At Texas A&M Pro Day

At Pro Day in front of hundreds of people, the 6-foot-3 stud had several intriguing numbers when he was measured and graded. His weight was marked down at 290 pounds, with his hands listed at 10 ⅛, his arms at 34 ¼, and his wingspan at 80 ¾. He was also able to rack 24 reps at the bench press, where his teammates were there rooting him on as he grinded through the station.

“Getting back with your old teammates has been a blessing,” Onyedim said. “It’s been good to see old faces. It’s been really fun.”

In his 40-yard dash, the big man registered a 5.03, while in the short shuttle, it was a 4.65, along with a 7.96 L drill. After his outing, he spoke about what was next for him and what conversations had been like with other teams.

“I have some 3-day visits on the line,” Onyedim said. “That should be fun. I know I have one with the Panthers, the Texans,  the Chargers, and the Cardinals.”

Throughout this experience, he touched on what the process has been like with his coaches and what head coach Mike Elko has been like in this journey for him in the months and weeks leading up to these moments.

“He’s been great at reaching out to us and stuff,” Onyedim said. “Seeing how we are doing. See what he could do for us. He’s been amazing.”

Explosiveness.

That’s one of the main things that Onyedim said he had been trying to focus on and hone in on the last three months after doing stuff at the combine.

“I know I’ve been explosive, but I am not God, so I’m not perfect, so obviously, I'm working on everything. That’s been great. That’s what I’ve been doing. Just working on everything. My jumping, my running, my lifting, how strong I can get.”

Next up for Onyedim is to wait to hear his name called, as he’ll be chilling in his hometown waiting for that special moment.

“I’m in the crib – Richmond, Texas,” Onyedim said. “Just going to be with my family, friends. All of that. That should be fun.”
