PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – No receivers for the first time this week as the Steelers hosted three visitors Friday including another linebacker.
OT Travis Burke
- A monstrous offensive tackle from Memphis, Burke is 6’9”, 325 pounds who likely would need time to develop and projected as a Day 3 pick. Burke played five seasons in college starting at left and right tackle and Gardner-Webb, Florida International and then his final season with the Tigers was First-Team All-AAC starting 11 games at right tackle. He is insanely physical, but his size can be used against him. PFF ranks him as the 311th best prospect with a pretty equal grade between run and pass blocking.
LB Harold Perkins
- The 21-year-old is 6’1”, 222 pounds and with that size doesn’t have a traditional position. Last year was Third-Team All-SEC with 56 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 pass breakups. He was a five-star recruit who started all three seasons with 35.5 TFL, and All-SEC all three years. NFL.com projects him to be an average backup and described him as a special teams demon. He had the 10th best athleticism score at the NFL Combine.
CB Malik Muhammad
- Second-Team All-SEC with Texas last season with 30 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 2 interceptions and 4 pass breakups. NFL.com credits his ability to play man and has a strong understanding of the game and reading offensives and receivers. Needs to put on some weight at 6’, 182 pounds and projects him as a Day 2 pick. Pro Football Focus rates him as the 15th best corner in the draft. Muhammad comes from a football family where four cousins played college football and one made it to the NFL (AJ Green), three of them also played corner.
