Seventh round: Tyshun Render, Middle Tennessee State
Most fans, if they’ve heard of Render at all, know him as the guy Patriots coach Bill Belichick made a point to check out in person on his way to the combine in February.

The rocked-up physique definitely grabs the attention. He had a solid performance at Michigan in the 2019 opener, using his quick first step and powerful shoulders to win against some blocks, forcing a fumble and drawing a penalty.
The only other time I saw Render was against Florida Atlantic and he was very effective at using his length to disrupt passing lanes. He didn’t show much against the run, but the athleticism and length are what gets guys drafted this late.
