veteran Louisiana tackle with proven starter durability
Kyle Pirtle has been a sturdy, high-volume presence at left tackle for Louisiana, starting all 12 games in 2008 and logging 829 snaps, which says a lot about trust and toughness in the trenches. He brings size, experience, and left-side consistency, but the bigger differentiator is his durability after battling a knee injury earlier in his career. If a team wants an experienced tackle who can handle a heavy workload and provide steadiness rather than flash, Pirtle fits the bill.
