Tyler Owens

Commanders signed Texas Tech S Tyler Owens.

Owens (6’2/216) brings plenty of size to the safety position and possesses good speed and athleticism – although he didn’t run the 40-yard dash at the combine or his pro day. Owens has the look of an NFL safety but is short on playing experience. Per Pro Football Focus, Owens has logged just 961 snaps on defense during his five college seasons and missed a high rate of tackles (17.6 percent) during his final season at Texas Tech. He has plenty to work with as far as tools are concerned, but he’ll need to be coached up and make the most of valuable reps in camp if he hopes to secure a spot on a 53-man roster.
