Utah edge-rusher Kylie Fitts produced a composite score in the 82nd percentile at the NFL Scouting Combine.


Fitts (6'4/263) missed essentially the entire season after suffering a foot injury in the second game of the year against BYU, so this was an important combine for him. He performed well. He tied Harold Landry for the fastest 20 yard shuttle from an edge-rusher, and his 31 bench press reps ranked at the top. Fitts currently ranks as a third-to-fourth round pick by NFL.com's Lance Zierlein, who compares him to Nate Orchard.

Utah redshirt senior edge rusher Kylie Fitts has accepted an invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl.

Fitts (6'4/260) has missed most of the season with an undisclosed injury, and was believed to have applied for a medical redshirt, he also played in just one game in 2016. In 2015, however, the edge rusher picked up seven sacks and looked like one of the better pass-rushers in the Pac-12 conference. If the medicals check out, he could be a mid-round pick.

Utah redshirt senior edge rusher Kylie Fitts will miss the remainder of the season due to a foot injury suffered against BYU.

Fitts will apply for a medical redshirt, so he might return in 2017. According to Tony Pauline, Fitts flirted with the 2016 NFL Draft, but decided to return for this season.
