...UAB ILB Marvin Burdette made a statement with 12 tackles, showing NFL scouts that despite his size, they might need to take a closer look.
...Burdette also finished with 1 sack and 1 tfl in addition to 12 tackles.
Thank you for giving a player who has played in the past decade as an example. Remember how much **** Harrison had to deal with before he finally caught on too?

That comment reminds me of meeting my history dept. coworker Taylor Greene who was 6'5' and abut 250 lb. When he told me he had attended Alabama State University on scholarship, I asked him what position he played there. His reply was "second clarinet".

Yes, and I believe that if an NFL team had the patience to bring Matt along for a couple of years, he would have developed into a first rate OL player for many years.
