Tyrone Swoopes is an enigma.
His body says NFL, but his record as a quarterback at the University of Texas doesn’t match. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s not a place for him at the next level.
Every year, guys find roundabout ways onto NFL rosters. As the 2017 NFL draft approaches, Swoopes is trying to be the latest, by way of switching positions, to tight end.
Swoopes graduated in December, after a 31-9 loss to TCU ended Texas’ 5-7 campaign and Swoopes’ college career, where the Longhorns went a combined 24-26. He started 14 games at quarterback before taking a reserve role, primarily deployed in short-yardage situations in the package that became known as the 18-wheeler.
