March Madness is in full effect with the Final Four beginning this week. So far, one of the biggest stories of the tournament is is the N.C. State Wolfpack and their star big man, D.J. Burns.
Burns has become a fan favorite across the country. He's produced and dominated the competition consistently since the Wolfpack started their run at the beginning of the ACC Tournament. Listed at 6'9 and 275 pounds, his talent is catching plenty of eyeballs.
Fox Sports' Peter Schrager reports that Burns is receiving some intrigue around the NFL as an OT prospect.
Burns would make plenty of sense for the New Orleans Saints.
Offensive tackle is a major need for New Orleans, and they need to address the offensive line with multiple picks in this year's draft.
Ryan Ramczyk's status is up in the air due to his knee injury, and the Saints have not brought back OT Andrus Peat as of now. They have zero depth at tackle, either.
Not to mention, Burns moves well for his size. The Saints prefer top-end athletes in the trenches, and he fits that mold. It will be interesting to see if he pursues basketball or football once his college career comes to a close.
