Tyler Grant supposedly has been doing some private work outs and deleted most of his social media accounts prior to the Season 3 draft, wanting to stay away from any unwanted attention that may arise. He reluctantly entered the Season 3 Combine, knowing his skills may not show up in the drills that they conduct, but he will also be doing a Pro day at the Northwestern University practice facility prior to the NSFL draft. With very little interaction between him and other potential NSFL rookies, it seems that he may not be a fit in this league, however, he may be the steal of the draft.
One of the reasons why Mr. Grant is a perfect fit for any defense is that throughout college he has had to step into just about every position on the field. He played some time at linebacker and Wide Receiver, but he really exceled at Safety, Cornerback, and Punt Returner. He may seem a bit undersized weight-wise, but don’t let that deceive you. He has been known for throwing huge hits at times while playing in the Big Ten and will hopefully carry that through to the NSFL. When entering college, Tyler was only 5’8” and 150 lbs, but easily bulked up and had a growth spurt, making him a flat 6’ by his junior year and weighing in at 175 lbs. He has now upped his weight prior to entering the league a couple games early with the legion to 190 lbs, and none of it is bad weight. He is probably the most fit he has been since entering college and there is still room to improve.
When playing at Northwestern, Grant was known for covering the right side of the field, he was a physical corner and had wide receivers frustrated every game. The ones that proved troublesome to him were the small, quick Wideouts that would be able to evade his constant bump play at the line. Because of this, he gave up a couple long passes, but has shown improvement over the years and was a dominant force for the Wildcats his senior season as he almost willed them to a conference championship. Grant earned Big Ten honors his junior and senior year and touted an impressive 15 interceptions over his collegiate career.
In his short time with the legion, Tyler racked up a measly 19 tackles and 3 pass deflections in 6 games of work. He did not show his frustration, but has been seen talking with the CB coaches and fellow players Maddox and Shoate to learn new techniques that have helped them make the jump to the pros. He has shown great improvement since his time with the legion while playing in the prospect games, earning himself an interception, pass deflection, and 7 tackles. I got the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with Tyler Grant to get some insight on this quite season 3 prospect.

Tyler, what has been the most difficult thing for you entering the league?
I would say that it's been adjusting to the speed of the NSFL receivers. It's so much more challenging than the college level was.
What has the Legion locker room been like with all of the disappointing losses throughout the season, and now having to give away their #1 overall pick to the potential defending, and only, champions of the NSFL?
We all want to win so bad, so this tough stretch has really put a damper on our morale. We're determined to keep on working hard to turn this around though.
Is there anyone in the locker room that has helped you adjust to the NSFL that you want to give a shoutout to?
Actually Matt Vincent of the Hawks has been very helpful and encouraging ever since I came into the league. I can't thank him enough for all his help.
Going back to college, what was your proudest moment of being a Wildcat?
I would say going into Camp Randall and shutting down the Badgers a couple of years ago. There's nothing better than taking down a team in their own stadium when everyone is writing you off.
Do you regret not going to a powerhouse school to contend for a national title, such as Michigan or LSU?
Not at all I've been a huge Wildcat fan ever since I was little, so getting the opportunity to play for them was a dream come true.
Why do you believe that you are deserving of a first round pick in the upcoming draft?
I'm one of the best defensive backs in this entire draft class.
Is there any specific team that you wish to be drafted by, or inversely, a team you do not want to be drafted by?
I just want to be drafted by a team that's willing to be patient with me and work with me as I continue to adjust to the league.
With the Introduction of the DSFL, do you think that GMs will want to delegate you to that league, or do you think you will be able to keep up with the current competition of the NSFL?
I think given my level of play in the NSFL so far most GMs will want me to develop more before they put me on their main team.
Through the two prospect games so far, you have been absolutely dominant on the defensive side of the ball, 7 tackles, a pass deflection, and an Interception in which you have held the other team to 7 or less points in each game. How much can you dedicate these performances to the extra time you have put in the weight room and the extra snaps you got playing for the Legion?
There's nothing more valuable than real game experience, so I can't thank the Legion enough for giving me this opportunity.
This question has to be answered, but is a hot dog a sandwich?
I guess it's a sandwich.
And our final question for you today is, why are you the best player in this draft?
I'm the most gluten-free player in this draft.
