Maybe the best run/pass 3-4 DE I've ever seen. Check that…not maybe, the BEST I've ever seen…with props to Brett Keisel and Keith Willis for their excellence… https://t.co/keeTI4Ci0Q

🎥 Duke offensive lineman Graham Barton has the toughness and grit to move back to the interior of the offensive line. Graham has been heavily linked to Pittsburgh as a potential first round selection.

Graham Barton (#62) is a finisher, man. Definitely has the toughness to move back to the interior OL.

Would not be upset if he's the Steelers' first-round pick. pic.twitter.com/j6w1iwjS6h
