Memphis offensive tackle Travis Burke will be putting on his blue suede shoes and boarding a plane to the Meadowlands. He’ll touch down in North Jersey for a pre-draft top-30 visit in April. I can hear the music now: I was walking in East Rutherford...
And when he gets there, it won’t take long for him to stand out. The kid is enormous. At 6-foot-9 and around 325 pounds, Burke looks more like someone Memphis should’ve thrown in the paint during March Madness than a tackle prospect heading to the NFL. Instead, he’s been learning under a familiar name Giants fans are super familiar with, with two-time Super Bowl champion David Diehl helping mold his game down in Tennessee as the assistant offensive line coach for the Tigers.
