I think he may surprise some people. The staff kept him above Young and Brunskill, and a bunch of other guys they had in or looked at.

Just before the cuts, I did a bunch of research on him and Brunskill. Both are former TEs that converted to OT. Skule had two years at OT in the SEC. Brunskill only one year but made second team all-conference. Brunskill is more raw but has the skill set Kyle wants. Skule is more polished of the two, just needs to get his pad level down for more power. (Let's see, do we know anything about TEs who converted to OT and did well in the pros? )

I went back and watched the 22 plays he was in Sunday. He won all of them except for one where he was stalemated. He was taking good angles and moving people. Only 2 passing plays and neither required him to hold anyone out for an extended period.

Good point about quick passing. You don't need Left OT's to hold for more than 4 seconds in Kyle's system. 2.5 to 3.5 seconds is a good enough time for, I bet, 80% of Kyle's passes in this offense.

What was his pre draft analysis?

50/50 to make an NFL roster.

Thanks!!

"As a senior, Skule allowed only one sack in 473 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. That sack – a sack-strip surrendered to Kentucky's Josh Allen – ended Vanderbilt's hopes of a late-game comeback. Skule managed to hold his own against Allen, whom he considered the best pass-rusher he faced, for most of the game."

We put him in the starting lineup and high five each other because we got a legit backup. If that happens we gonna make some serious noise.
