Watch the athleticism Wirf displays. Looks a lot like Trent Williams when he gets moving.

Wirf’s showing he has the ability to play both left tackle and right tackle.

An absolute monster in the weight room, watch him crush Iowa great and current Redskin guard Brandon Scherff’s hang clean record as a sophomore.

As mentioned before, Wirfs is an athletic freak. Seriously, how many 6-foot-5, 320-pound individuals can do a standing backflip?
