Vikings signed DL Tyler Batty.
Batty (6’6/271) displays a good amount of quickness off the ball. He is physical at the point of attack. Batty showed off his athleticism at the combine, posting an 8.76 RAS. As a pass rusher, Batty is physical and creative with his hands; he doesn’t rely on one move. He also shows a good amount of upper body strength. Batty posted a 75.0 PFF pass rush grade in 2024, though he does play high at times, causing him to lose some of his leverage. As a run defender, Batty shows good vision and is aggressive. However, he’s not very consistent at getting off the ball — that really stood out in his game against UCF in 2024. Overall, Batty has the talent and build to be a productive edge rusher in the NFL.
