Feb 27, 2022

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were so certain that Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs would be a star, they gave up a fourth-round pick just to move up one spot in the 2020 NFL draft to make sure they landed him at No. 13 overall. - That would turn out to be a bargain, as Wirfs quickly established himself as one of the NFL’s best right tackles as a rookie. He made it even more clear in his second season, earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021. - It shouldn’t be a surprise, though, considering his ridiculous athletic ability, which he put on display at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine: - - The highest vertical ever for an offensive lineman. Tied the best broad jump ever for an offensive lineman.
