He nasty. Upgrade to Skule for swing tackle. Could compete for starting LG or RG position. I wonder if we would move Moore to Center?

Didnt know who this guy was before Friday but after doing my research, I think this guy is a start at some point in 2022. Dont know if its at OG or OT, because he looks great at both. His feet are definitely quick enough to be RT and he has enough power (which he could add more) to play OG. I love his IQ and intensity in the run game. He flies to his assigned blocks and lays defenders out

Agreed. I think he's got a legit chance to start at RG (RT if MM can't recover). The FO saw him as a 3rd rounder. That's a starter.

that must be a hell of a table, the dude looks small next to it.
He's got some huge ass hands though.
Yah he's still a bit undersized, but he's a solid athlete so him adding some muscle mass shouldn't make him slower.
And ya, he sounds like a real student of the game, gotta like that

Yes , liked his explanation of how he uses his hands but holy cow…his hands are bigger than my feet. They have to be 12-14" long. That is a freakishly good physical attribute. Would love to see him make it and then start down the road. Mentally sharp and a hard worker. It looks like you could put a football in between his hands and the ball would disappear. Wonder what Kyle would do with that? IDK but hope he ends up starting here.
Putting in the work when no one is looking is a crucial aspect of Burford's success. Continuing to build upon his skills and increase his techniques on the field are the building blocks for the drive he applies to his game.
"Everybody's not with you while you're working," Burford said. "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. If you want to separate yourself from the pack, you have to do the extra work. There's a lot of hungry guys out there, so you can never become complacent and stagnant. It is always the next man up mentality."
[...]
"A lot of technique that I had last year was really wild and out of control, so I focused on buckling down and keeping those things under control," Burford said. "I did a lot of swim training, speed, agility and strength training. I worked a lot with guys from the community who are out there working and that are hungry."

Maybe he might be a good fit at right tackle and take over for McGlinchey when he's gone after next year

This is huge for us if Banks + Burford > Tomlinson + Brunskill. Huge.
