Houston LB Tyus Bowser is floating through these change of direction drills. Impressive!

Tyus Bowser looked exceptional in some of the LB drills today. So smooth.
Bowser's Value as Top-End Rusher Tyus Bowser is a high-level athlete that should test extremely well at the NFL Scouting Combine. He extends and bends well off the snap and shows great lower half coordination to adjust, reposition and generate lower half force to push the pocket. He dips his inside shoulder with control well as an edge player, and can adjust his upper half shoulders on both interior and pure edge rushes. He offers a highly explosive and low-set first step off the snap and doesn't lose vision of the running back as a rusher.
He finishes as a tackler really well, utilizing long arms and his 10-inch hands. His low center of gravity as a rusher helps generate pressure, but he can misstep upfield and is susceptible to pulling and trap blocks, and backfield blockers at times.
Bowser's Coverage Value in the NFL As a pure linebacker, Bowser dips into coverage surprisingly well and has improved his pedal and lateral movement in space, but too often gets off balance and lost in deeper zone coverage. He's able to meet and engage tight ends and running backs, but doesn't have the eye discipline to stay true in coverage. As a linebacker, he has good, not great, range and likely should be reserved to a SAM linebacker in 4-3 defenses with more pass rushing than coverage drops in the NFL.
