2022 NFL mock draft: Spencer Rattler leads fascinating QB class
2022 NFL mock draft: 22nd pick
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Iowa. 22. C. Tyler Linderbaum. player. 30
Death, taxes, and the Kirk Ferentz NFL offensive line factory.
There are a few guarantees in life, the Iowa Hawkeyes putting NFL-quality linemen out in every single NFL Draft class being one of them.
The Hawkeyes don’t churn out first-round players every single year, but Tyler Linderbaum is a rare guy who turned down likely being a first-round pick in 2021 for a shot to come back to the Hawkeyes program for one more season and compete for a Big Ten title.
Linderbaum has looked like a pro from the first day he started snapping the ball for the Hawkeyes and interior defensive linemen hate going up against him.
An All-American in 2020, Linderbaum is such a natural mover at the position and a punisher when he gets his hands on defensive players.
The New York Jets have prioritized the offensive line in the last two draft classes, going after the nasty Mekhi Becton in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft before taking Alijah Vera-Tucker at left guard with the 14th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Adding Linderbaum would give the Jets three legitimate future All-Pro candidates on the offensive line.
