A CLOSER LOOK: Detroit Lions defensive lineman Tyre West

Twentyman’s take: The Lions like his ability to affect the quarterback as a sub-package rusher and like the position versatility he provides. He was part of a deep defensive line rotation in Knoxville and was still able to make an impact whenever he stepped on the field. He’s got some position versatility as a unique body type with an interesting skillset.
What he had to say: “I definitely proved that I’m a versatile player. Wherever you put me, wherever I line up, I’m always going to do my best to make plays,” West told Sports Illustrated. “I think I’ve managed to stand out throughout this process. I believe I did that at Tennessee this past season as well. I made plays and stood out on tape.”
