Linksys Kyle Mutcher Last Updated: December 27th, 2009 Managed By: Steve Martin School Weber State Height 6 ' 2.4 " Weight 301 lbs. Speed 5.10 ( Unofficial ) Graduation Year 2010 Birth Date 12/14/1986 Jersey # 53 Current Position C Projected Position C Overview Kyle is a 2006 graduate of Park City (UT) High School who was named a 1st-Team All-State Class 3A selection in 2004. Kyle was a three-year starter for the Miners and earned 1st-Team All-Region honors all three years he played. In 2006 at Weber, Kyle played five games as a starter at LG, but was sidelined the other five games with an ankle. In 2007, Kyle Began the year sharing time with Travis Harris at left guard but moved to center in the third game of the season vs. Montana State and was the starter the rest of the season. In 2008, he was named 2nd-team all Big Sky and started every game at center. Was a finalist for FCS top lineman as a senior, when he again starter all of his team's games at center. Strengths Pretty athletic. Moves around well and gets to the second level quickly. High, heads-up, 3-pt. stance when shotgun snapping. Good lateral quickness. Generally hits whatever he is aiming at. Would be effective in a zone-blocking scheme, or a position-blocking scheme that puts a priority on getting people to a spot when run blocking before the defense can set. Nice pass pro technique. Weaknesses Average size. Little upside. Average initial charge when run blocking. Looks shorter than 6'2, and is a little dumpy around the middle. No mauler. Gets by on finesse and technique most of the time. Appears satisfied with the stalemate at times. Would not be a good option for a power running team, or a team that emphasizes the run. Projection Priority UDFA. Looks like he might end up as a practice squadder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I agree that he would be a practice squadder. While I was reading I was thinking he sounds decent until I got to the part where he is described as not a good option for a team that emphasizes the run. It looks like that is going to be our offensive philosophy this year, at least.

Sidenote: I like the Miracle on Ice quote in your signature, Rfeynman I saw that too but it also says he's a zone blocking player which is what Gailey is instituting. I think that makes up the difference. JMO Thanks for the kudos on the Miracle quote. I put it there as a subtle message to all of the people who go off on the Bills for not signing the "Best" FA's.

I always noticed the zone blocking tidbit, which gives me some hope, but he is still a practice squad guy in my mind for this year at least. And I totally agree with your subtle message by the way.

Steely Dan Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 I found some more stuff on Mutcher. Fanball.com Pro Football draft has him ranked as the 14th best center prospect in the draft. Also, Lindy's Pro Football Draft calls him a small school stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sounds like a good taxi squader for 2010. Wait and see prospect with Pro conditioning. Zone block a plus for skill sets and team requirements. Interesting read. By the way Rfeynman, have we got a video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
