Another important point to mention is that Wyatt is a player who, in my opinion, still has room to grow. He’s far from being technically perfect or polished just yet. Because of that, it’s easy to imagine him continuing to improve once he gets to the pros.

This could certainly be seen as a weakness if I were to view it from a pessimistic perspective, in the sense that, yes, technically he’s still far from being an excellent player. However, I prefer to see the glass as half full in his case, because he has shown flashes of real talent that consistently appear—enough to make you believe there’s definitely something worth developing with him.

Finally, there's one aspect of Wyatt’s game that really impressed me: his excellent ability to pass his hips on run blocks. He's really skilled at securing rushing lanes for his ball carriers by passing his dominant hip and positioning his body between the defender and the ball carrier. This creates a real path and prevents the defender from making any moves on the ball carrier.

Now let's move on to the first area of improvement for Wyatt: his hands, or rather, their placement. I’ve seen him too many times with his hands wandering, especially around the helmet and facemask of his opponents. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets flagged for this in his first pro games because of it.

You’ve got it—Wyatt will need to work on his hand placement to avoid leaving any room for doubt with the referees.

As I mentioned briefly in the strengths section, Milum can sometimes get caught in pass protection. As I explained earlier, it’s not necessarily due to a lack of athletic ability but more of a lack of focus or concentration.

I’ve observed him several times being just a bit late at the snap, his focus seemingly elsewhere, as if he was distracted at that moment. The reason for this, I’m not entirely sure—it could be that he's reading the defense looking for potential blitzes, or maybe he's caught up in some trash talk with another player. As I mentioned, I don’t know the exact reason. If I were on the field or on the sideline, I could provide more details, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Regardless, this doesn’t change the issue at hand—these small lapses in focus need to disappear if he wants to dominate at the professional level.

The game will move much faster, and the EDGE rushers and linebackers he’ll face will be far more explosive and technically refined. He won’t have the luxury of giving even a tenth of a second of leeway, or he’ll pay the price dearly. That’s the difference between the professional level and Division 1 College Football. These kinds of small mistakes won’t be tolerated anymore, so it’s up to Wyatt to work on eliminating them.

Milum will also need to make efforts to improve his footwork. While it’s currently quite good, I’ve noticed that when he starts to tire, his footwork tends to break down, especially his kick-and-slide technique. In fact, his kick-and-slide becomes disorganized, with both feet sometimes leaving the ground simultaneously, and a weight distribution that’s too heavily on his heels, which puts him at a significant disadvantage. This is something he’ll need to address urgently if he doesn’t want to get exploited by experienced power rushers who won’t hesitate to take advantage of these small mistakes.

Similarly, while I’ve noticed that Wyatt typically plays with more than adequate leverage, once again, when he starts to tire, he tends to stop lowering his center of gravity using his legs and instead tries to bend at the waist to get lower. This serves no purpose and is actually dangerous for both his QB and his ball carriers, as he becomes more susceptible to getting beaten or put in difficult situations. Wyatt also puts himself at risk, as bending at the waist can lead to head contact and increases the likelihood of back or neck injuries. In short, this is definitely a point that needs to be addressed.

When he gets tired, we can end up seeing situations where the last two issues I mentioned—leverage and footwork—combine, and his performance, to put it mildly, is not pretty. When that happens, I don't need to spell it out, but Wyatt can really find himself in a tough spot.
