    All I see is him being 6'8" and black, and using his size to dominate a bunch of tiny white kids. Nothing super athletic. Trey Adams' high school basketball highlights were much more impressive.

    Trey Adams is 6'7" so Burleson is only once inch taller. This is the only basketball highlight I can find of Trey Adams and he does not look appreciably more athletic than Burleson in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eERuhLI5stE

    Also, is Trey Adams not playing against tiny white kids out in Wenatchee?

    You're comparing Burleson's athleticism to our best O lineman so if he is even in the realm of Trey Adams then he has potential.

    Hopefully he's more athletic than our other project on the OL - Devin Burleson. That guy just doesn't have the lateral movement, quickness and overall athleticism that we need.

    I disagree about Devin Burleson. The guy is really athletic for how big he is. Check out his high school basketball highlights:

    I don't care what Burleson did on the basketball court. I've watched him in football scrimmages and he looks like he is wearing cement shoes.

    Not knowing WTF he is doing could have a lot to do with that. Sometimes guys who are very athletic can look downright clumsy when they are thinking too much rather than just playing.

    Or he could just be a project who will never pan out at all...

    He sucks. Stiff. Cant bend at the HIPS. He makes Morgan Roseborough look like Myles Gaskin

    Adams is far more athletic and he can play him some football too
