From Matt Coller — Dalvin Tomlinson had some complimentary words about Jaylen Twyman, who is coming back from missing all last season.

“He's super explosive,” Tomlinson said. “In the run game he's improving a great degree. In the pass rush he's great as you already know. I'm just excited to see him get out there this year. I just want him to go out there and be successful. I know how great he is and how hard he comes to work every day. Just to finally see him get on the field and have fun again is going to be exciting.”

He has the body of the Hulk but still rocking the baby face!   Seems like a really good kid, after all he has been through I am really pulling for him.

Twyman is going to be interesting: he's built very low to the ground, but like JR said, built like the Hulk. He might be disruptive inside. It sounds like he's got teammates rooting for him.

Definitely one of those kids I look forward to watching.

I would love to see him make the 53, at worst, get stashed on the practice squad.  

He's got a lot of game and he's a beast.  Johnny Randle was undrafted, ya never know

He did 40 reps at his Pro Day. Guy is ridiculously strong.

This is a kid who had some bad luck the past couple of seasons. He opted out of 2020 due to Covid after a strong 2019. For whatever reason he decided to bulk up to 300 pounds while training for the combine and ended up running a super slow 40 time. To me he seems more of a 285-290 pound player who relies on quickness and technique rather than size and brute force. Then you add the unfortunate incident last year and the kid hasn't played meaningful football in over two years. 

He has the talent, and there's definitely a place for him if he plays well. Here's hoping he does.

Yeah, he was an odd draft prospect. Played well at Pitt, but considered a pass rusher 1st, run defender....maybe 4th. Then ran the slow forty. Tough to justify a high pick on a pass rusher who runs 5.4. Could've been a 3rd/4th rounder with anything above 5.2, but slipped to the 6th.
