Louisville OL Willie Tyler Signed by the New York Jets
By Caleb Hall
Louisville football will have it's 3rd offensive lineman signed post the NFL Draft, and Willie Tyler has been signed to the New York Jets. Which follows the trend of being another Cardinal being signed, as he is the 5th overall to do so.
Tyler is the 3rd to be signed on the offensive line, behind Bryan Hudson and Eric Miller. Tyler was another mainstay of the offensive line last season and was one of the reasons it was so consistent (mostly) all season. Louisville was Miller's 4th school in 4 years, as he transferred from Texas, Louisiana Monroe, Rutgers, and finally to Louisville in his last college season.
Louisville will have 9 overall new players on NFL rosters next season. As they had 4 players drafted and 5 players signed, with 2 being running backs, 2 being defensive backs, 3 being offensive lineman, 1 quarterback, and 1 wide receiver.
