Scout wonders how Alabama DT Dalvin Tomlinson ‘flew under the radar so long’

Former Alabama defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson is gaining attention from NFL teams. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound lineman is a projected second- to third-round pick who completed 22 bench press reps during Alabama’s Pro Day and ran a 5.19-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.

According to one AFC South scout, it’s bewildering that Tomlinson managed to stay under the radar as long as he did.

“I don’t know how he flew under the radar so long because he is a dude,” he said.
