Before Eric Tomlinson started playing for his present team, Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL), he plied his trade for the likes of Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, New York Jets, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens.
He was born on April 22, 1992, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Tomlinson attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana, along with 19 other tight ends from colleges. He had an average overall performance, placing tenth in the bench press and ninth in his position group in the 40-yard dash.
Tomlinson participated in the pro day at UTEP on April 9, 2015, and he repeated the majority of the combined drills there. He was able to outperform his performance from the day of the combine and improved his 40-yard, 20-yard, and 10-yard dash timings (4.77s, 4.82s, and 4.93s, respectively) (1.73s).
He would have had the third-best unofficial 40-yard dash time out of all the tight ends that competed at the combine.
Tomlinson was predicted by NFL draft analysts and scouts to be an undrafted free agent at the end of the pre-draft process. NFLDraftScout.com graded him as the 20th best tight end prospect in the draft.
