Wisconsin Football: The Most Important Combine Events for Each Player

Current Status: 2nd to 3rd Round Prospect

Most Important Combine Drills: Broad Jump, 20 yard shuttle, Medical Checkup

Unlike Baun, who was a fringe prospect coming into 2019, Tyler Biadasz was seen as a potential top prospect before returning to school last season. It remains to be seen whether that was a wise decision or not as far as Biadasz draft stock goes, but he was again one of the top offensive linemen in college football, winning the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s best center and being named as the unanimous first team All-American Center.

However, Biadasz has plenty of questions to answer in Indianapolis, especially when it comes to his ceiling as a player. A lot of scouts describe him as a “safe” pick who will come in and serviceable without a large room for growth. They discuss his strength and lack of lateral agility as limiting factors, meaning his work on the field needs to impress to solidify him as an early Day 2 player.

For Biadasz, the broad jump is vital to show his explosiveness. Biadasz is a technician at center, not unlike longtime Viking and Raven Matt Birk, but showing some extra explosiveness in his lower body could really help him stand out. The same goes for his shuttle runs. If Biadasz tests in the top five or ten at his position in those drills, his stock will rise. Finally, much like Baun, Biadasz needs to answer questions about his medical history. Biadasz had surgery on his hip after the 2018 season and missed the entirety of Spring Practice in 2019 before playing every game last year.
