Kyle Van Noy is often described as a "football player", someone who does everything very well but nothing Exceptionally well.
For the most part I agree, however, if I had to highlight my personal favorite aspect of his game it'd be his play recognition/anticipation.
Again, he's tagged as one of those guys who is always around the ball. That's because he has a great ability to see where a play is going and get there early, even the broken ones. He does very well when "spying" and always seems to make the right decision.

Wait, we got this guy? I didnt see this anywhere, have a link?


The Lions’ undrafted free agents and tryout camp players won’t be official until at least Monday and things can change quickly, so until it is official, be wary. But former Missouri quarterback James Franklin tweeted he will be joining the Lions -- and since the Lions did not draft a quarterback this weekend, that seems like a pretty safe bet. Among the other players who tweeted they will be a part of either the Lions’ roster or rookie camp are Nebraska cornerback Mohammed Seisay, Appalachian State wide receiver Andrew Peacock, Kansas State offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas, Tennessee offensive lineman Alex Bullard and Oklahoma cornerback Gabe Lynn. The Detroit Free Press is reporting William and Mary safety Jerome Couplin, Robert Morris offensive lineman A.J. Dalton and Louisiana-Lafayette tight end Jacob Maxwell will also be undrafted free agents.

this is so weird, like no one cared for him before the draft really? Then hes a UDFA for the Lions and he blows up?
His stats are nuts, why wouldn't he be drafted? There has to be a reason


all things aside though, I really hope he can make the team, hopefully he impresses enough

this was a pre-draft article, and i think the reason why he didnt get drafted was because of the level of competition

I'm going to the pre season game august 9th. Havent decided what seats yet, but for pretty reasonable prices you can get tickets on the 40(like $60-75) endzone lower tier for as low as $20. I want to see if they let Johnny football play for Cleveland or not, and if they do I want to see him on the field with the big boys for the first time.

Thats an awesome idea man. I think they would have to give him some playing time because its preseason. I can see it being filled up with cleaveland fans.

If I still lived in MI I would have loved to go to a game. I have to wait until a Arizona, Dallas or Houston game
