Interview: Oregon’s Jordan Burch Is Open To Adding Weight, Shifting Inside

INDIANAPOLIS – As college football evolves, the types of players that enter the NFL change with it. This year, there are a plethora of position-ambiguous defensive linemen who potentially have the length and size to play on the interior, but they spent their college careers as EDGE defenders. One of those players to watch in the 2025 NFL Draft class is Oregon DE Jordan Burch.

What complicates matters is that some players shed weight for the NFL Scouting Combine to run a fast 40-yard dash. Burch wants to run a 4.6-second 40, which, at his size, would certainly turn some heads.
