Name: Josh Doyle

Position: OT
Height: 6’5″
Weight: 310
Q: What goals did you accomplish heading into your final collegiate season?
Got on the field every game to help my team, became a starter and developed a leading role on my team.
Q: What would your coaches say about the type of player you are?
I believe that my coaches would say that I am a good leader and teammate, very coachable, and can deal with adversity well, such as an injury setback, bad game, or losing season.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film, I mostly focus on the individual DE I’m going against, however my OL coach taught me how to read safety’s and that helped improve my Blitz recognition and made me a better tackle.
Q: What separates you from the other players at your position?
What separates me is my defensive mentality and warrior mindset. I was originally a defensive guy in high school and at the beginning of my college career, so I provide aggressive hands on the edge and recognize movement.
Q: How will you train and prepare this offseason for the draft or other pro opportunities?
I plan on training down at school while consulting my trainer from back home in Wisconsin.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Like I said, I’m a very aggressive player. I want to bring physical toughness to any OL I’m on. I’m also very easy going off the field. I know how to “flip that switch” so to speak, so being a great teammate comes natural for me.
Q: What is your final pitch or sell to NFL and other pro league scouts?
I’ve been playing this incredible game for 17 years and it has given me so much. So to be able to continue strapping that helmet up would be a blessing to say the least. It’s an amazing game and molded me into the man I am today. So I don’t want to hang them up until they make me!
