Ben Burr-Kirven is a tremendous fit for a Cover-3 match scheme that prioritizes speed and coverage ability from its linebackers, especially outside linebackers.
Year 1 special teams ace and sub-package coverage linebacker with the ceiling to develop into a starting weakside linebacker.
He would be a poor fit for a traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme that requires larger, stronger linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks.
His athletic profile and coverage skills make him a valuable asset in modern defenses that prioritize speed and versatility at the linebacker position.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
