Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Carl Nassib

Summary

Ethan Burke is a versatile, physically powerful defensive lineman who is “country strong” and uses that power to be a consistent disruptor. He’s a high-effort player who excels at setting the edge against the run and using his long reach to overwhelm blockers. While he isn’t the most agile or flexible athlete, his ability to play multiple positions -- paired with his relentless motor -- makes him a steady presence in both the backfield and passing lanes.

About

Career: 26.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks over four seasons

Strengths

Versatile defensive lineman capable of playing multiple positions effectively.
Exceptional functional strength to shed double teams and set the edge.
Relentless, high-motor player who pursues the ball until the whistle.

Weaknesses

Lack of flexibility and bend can cause him to struggle to reach the quarterback at the top of the drop.
Limited short-area quickness and lateral agility in space.
Not a dynamic athlete, relying more on power than suddenness.
