Los Angeles met formally with the Tigers’ offensive lineman at the NFL Combine.
The Los Angeles Chargers formally met with Memphis offensive tackle Travis Burke at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC-2 Houston.
Jacob Musselman - Imagn ImagesThe 23-year-old Hollywood, Florida native spent the first two seasons of his college career at Gardner-Webb, where he redshirted his freshman season in 2021. In his first year as a starter, Burke allowed four sacks and 31 total pressures across 511 pass-blocking snaps, while committing 11 penalties over 900 total snaps.
He transferred to Florida International in 2023, allowing five sacks and 14 pressures on 300 pass-blocking snaps, with five penalties on 514 total snaps. He followed that up with four sacks and 20 pressures on 415 pass-blocking snaps, committing eight penalties across 763 snaps.
Burke then transferred to Memphis, where he earned First-team All-American Athletic Conference after allowing three sacks and 13 pressures on 429 pass-blocking snaps this past season, adding six penalties over 765 total snaps. In 2025, he earned an 84.5 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, ranking 11th among 632 qualifying offensive tackles. His 81.5 pass-blocking grade ranked 34th, while his 84.2 run-blocking grade ranked ninth at the position.
At the combine, Burke measured in at six-foot-nine, 325 pounds, with 34 1/4-inch arms and 10 1/8-inch hands. He posted a 5.17-second 40-yard dash with a 1.79-second 10-yard split, along with a 27-inch vertical and an eight-foot-11 broad jump.
According to Next Gen Stats, Burke earned a total score of 68, ranking 21st among offensive tackles. His production score of 66 ranked 13th, while his estimated athleticism score of 72 placed 17th at the position.
Burke provides an intriguing blend of size, length and physicality, particularly as a run blocker. He plays with strong hands and a finishing mentality, often sustaining blocks once he establishes leverage. For a taller tackle, he shows solid bend and the ability to anchor against power, though his overall movement skills are somewhat limited. That lack of short-area quickness can hinder him in space and in pass protection, where edge speed can give him trouble and his recovery ability is inconsistent.
The projected third-to-fourth round pick also met with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts at the combine, while drawing significant interest throughout the pre-draft process. Burke had dinner meetings or film sessions with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots at his Pro Day, in addition to Zoom calls with the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders.
He has also taken visits with the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots.
