Wagner High School alumnus and former UTSA offensive lineman Spencer Burford is preparing for his second NFL postseason game Sunday versus the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Round.
Selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round, 134th overall of the 2022 NFL Draft, Burford has turned heads from the first day he reported to rookie minicamp.“He’s done a great job,” Shanahan told KSAT 12 sports. “Some of the people we lost on our o-line last year and some of the new things we had to do this year going into the draft. We took a shot on him there in the fourth round. He had a lot of talent.
“I’m just going to build off of it,” Burford said. “At the end of the day, like I said, there’s always room for improvement. I thank him, but I’m looking forward to making sure, like I said, just making sure we can do some more things in order to build off what we did last week and hopefully just keep improving throughout this postseason.”
“I hear about it all the time, especially being from Texas,” Burford said. “You know, I grew up Cowboys fan, but at this point, I mean, everybody pretty much knows what it is Bang Bang Niner Gang. So, we’re going to go out there and do what we’re supposed to do and play our brand of football.”
