Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
  • Possesses strong upper body to be explosive and create turnovers as a tackler. Takes aggressive angles to the ball.
  • Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
  • Rhyne has a compact build, but Rhyne is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
  • Rhyne has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
  • Plays fast, flows with the action, showing smooth lateral agility and short-area burst. Has good instincts and awareness to quickly find the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Rhyne lacks the fluidity to turn and run with some of the more athletic tight ends.
  • Lacks the kind of pure speed to consistently close, or to get home when used on looping rushes.
  • Rhyne is on the small side, and his frame is pretty much maxed out. Despite his effort and intensity, he’ll simply get swallowed up at times.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
