Buccaneers All-Pro Offensive Lineman Lists the Toughest Pass-Rushers He's Faced

Having been drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with pick No. 13 in 2020, Tristan Wirfs has developed into a top-tier offensive lineman in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowler has started in each of his 46 games played since being drafted.

With the quick breakout, Wirfs listed the toughest pass-rushers he's faced so far in the NFL on the Vikes Verified podcast.

Wirfs didn't give an exact list, but he spitballed a few names that were tough enough to leave a real impact on the 2021 first-team All-Pro lineman.

The list included Dallas' Micah Parsons, New Orleans' Cam Jordan, Cleveland's Myles Garrett, Buffalo's Von Miller and Los Angeles' Khalil Mack.

Though there was no numbered list, Wirfs praised Jordan's relentless effort and ability to "run through your face" on any given play. Wirfs said it was one of his toughest battles and most physically demanding matchups.

While Wirfs praised Jordan's effort and power, it was a different message for Garrett. He mentioned Garrett's elite set of skills and called him a "disgusting pass rusher."

For a young player that has built such a polished resume so early, playing against the elite talents that he listed will only sharpen Wirfs as a player.

The Buccaneers' offensive lineman is making the transition from right tackle to left tackle in the upcoming season. Wirfs will continue to match up with elite players across the league, furthering his development as he tries to reach his potential.

This move comes at a good time, as Wirfs will be protecting a new quarterback with Tom Brady officially moving on from football and one of Kyle Trask or Baker Mayfield taking over for the Buccaneers.
