Missouri’s steady edge-setter: Scott Paffrath brings old-school tackle toughness
Scott Paffrath was a 6-foot-5, 290-pound Missouri offensive tackle who earned long-term trust by making 18 straight starts at tackle dating back to the 2002 season, a strong signal of durability and coach confidence. His calling card was reliability over flash: he was recruited to add strength and depth, then settled into a role as a steady line piece who could handle position changes and keep the Tigers stable up front. If you want an experienced, no-drama trench player with toughness and versatility, he’s the kind of fit that quietly upgrades an offensive line.
