Position: Class:
5Sr
School: Conference: Ht., Wt.:
6-4.5, 310
40 Time:
5.46

BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter at left tackle awarded all-Conference mention as a senior.

POSITIVES: Burley has the size and strength as well as the upside potential to find a home in the NFL as a reserve. A left tackle in college, he may be better off in confined quarters at guard, and he is worth bringing into camp for a look.

NEGATIVES: Not light on his feet and struggles blocking in motion. Lacks top lateral blocking range. Needs to develop a nasty streak. Has off-the-field issues that could raise red flags.

ANALYSIS: Strong, stout blocker who controls defenders at the point of attack. Bends his knees, plays with leverage, and keeps his feet moving throughout the action. Gets movement run blocking, and turns defenders off the ball. Immediately gets his hands into defenders and knocks pass rushers from their angle of attack. Stays square, and is a solid position blocker who seals opponents from the play.

PROJECTION: FA
