Tyler Sayles brings Navy-level grit, run defense, and pass-rush flashes
Tyler Sayles emerged at Navy as an athletic defensive end with good instincts, solid run defense, and enough burst to pressure the quarterback; Navy’s own notes described him as a player who can rush the passer and hold up against the run. In 2016, he played in all 14 games and posted 15 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 QB hurry, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 forced fumbles, and one AAC positional note later highlighted his 8.3% run-stop rate despite heavy run-snap volume. If your team wants a disciplined, physical edge defender with proven toughness and disruptive upside, he fits the mold.
