"MOBILE, Ala. - Georgia Tech guard Keylan Rutledge can't be missed during Senior Bowl practices. He's the mauler, the beast, the one pounding his opponents into dust. And he's attracted the interest of the Dolphins, a team wanting to get better in the trenches. On Tuesday, Rutledge (6-foot-3, 316 pounds), projected as a mid-round pick, had a few impressive displays of physicality and aggression - including one against SMU's Jeffrey M'Ba, and one against Texas A&M's Scooby Williams. He drove them both to the ground."
"There were also snapshots of Rutledge, projected by some as one of the top five guards in the draft, effectively working to the second level in the run game as well as handling Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton in pass protection. But here's what Dolphins fans should note: Rutledge said he talked to the Dolphins and "it went great.""
Keylan Rutledge, a 6-foot-3, 316-pound Georgia Tech guard, displayed notable physicality and aggression during Senior Bowl practices, often finishing blocks and driving opponents to the ground. Scouts view him as a mid-round pick and some project him among the top five guards in the draft based on run-game second-level work and reliable pass protection against edge rushers like Dani Dennis-Sutton. Rutledge reported a positive meeting with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins currently face uncertainty at guard due to inconsistent play and recent injuries, creating a potential opportunity for a physical, resilient interior lineman like Rutledge.
