The "Ty" factor

[OGSixshooter]

Have you guys noticed that we always tend to draft a lineman with "Ty" in the name?

Tyron Smith
Tyler Smith
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Biadiaz

I think there have been more over the years but...are we that superstitious and stupid? I know Jerry is...

The crazy thing is that all of them have actually been good. And yes, I know we drafted a few other linemen without the "Ty", but for most of our top guys seem this seems to be true. I hope to goodness this is coincidence and not some stupid superstition.

Are any from Tyler? Thats the Holy Grail of conspiracies.

I never thought about that? Hmmm, very interesting.

Will McClay looks for if the prospect is from Michigan or first name starts with Ty...

Humans are pattern-seeking mammals so I get that we'll find a pattern in ANYTHING (e.g. stars, mountains, rivers, skin color, etc.) BUT...I had noticed this trend before the draft and I thought if they do this again, this is deliberate...and they did it again! Who knows...could be a coincidence...but I'm just wondering if the Jones' are that stupid to believe it's a good luck charm or something.

Don't forget Tyler Bass....

Don't forget Tyler Bass....

And you can go as far as first name contains "T" and "R" then you can add Travis Frederick. That's 6 on the list

Tyler Smith and Tyler Guyton both played college football in the state of Oklahoma. One at Oklahoma and the other at Tusla.

I didn't think much about it honestly, but it is funny. Now if they started drafting players named Dallas I would start asking questions...

I’d quit looking at Michigan but Tyler has worked out well so far
