Prescott Burgess is a better athlete than he is a football player.  He’s a converted safety and that’s the way he plays at linebacker.  He makes most of the plays he’s supposed to but he’s a little soft against the run and doesn’t fight off many blocks.  He has decent size at 6’3″, 245 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40 so maybe the Ravens can coach him up.  Otherwise he has the look of a backup LB and special teams player.  In 45 games (21 starts) at Michigan, Burgess made 174 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, had 4 sacks, broke up 13 passes and had 4 interceptions.  He was worth a six round pick by the Ravens as he was projected to go higher in the draft.
