TYUS BOWSER EVERMORE

tyus bowser

“Tyus is so versatile in everything he does. He’s become a really dominant edge setter in the run game. He’s great in coverage, and it’s not just the plays on the ball, because he has tremendous ball skills – he’s at an elite level there – but what he does that you may not always see is he takes away the open underneath routes or the guy going to the flat. He’s also a really dynamic and dangerous pass rusher for us that can really move across the front. He’s a quiet, cool-demeanor guy, but he’s really a strong leader. He’s got strong leadership, communication traits with the rest of the guys. The team looks up to him. We love him.”

– OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS COACH DREW WILKINS

DIRECT FROM TYUS…

WHAT JOB WOULD YOU HAVE IF YOU WEREN’T PLAYING PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL?

WHICH GAME SHOW COULD YOU BE ON AND WIN THE TOP PRIZE?

“I’d probably have a chance at Family Feud.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY HIDDEN TALENTS?

“I played basketball when I was younger. I love to draw. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid – architect-type drawings.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE, AND WHO SAID IT?

“A quote that one of my good teammates always told me was, 'If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.' That’s always stuck with me.”

“[With our new OLBs], we have the same mission to get to the quarterback to create pressure in the backfield. We have great guys who work hard each and every day at practice. We help each other on the field and off the field, after practice [and] before practice, shoot – even in the locker room just talking about it. These guys want it, and that’s what you need as an outside linebacker group – just guys that want to be great and want to strive to get to the quarterback. I feel great about the guys that we have.”
