Big Freddie is on Rimington Trophy watchlist for the 2016 season. It's the award for the best center in CFB.

Man, 5/7 Coastal teams have a player on that list (Duke/VT not represented). Throw in Clemson, uga, and Southern, and it looks like the only teams we play who don't have a center on that list are Mercer, Vanderbilt, Duke, and VT. Just thought that was really interesting. I can't wait to see Burden fully healthy (and with a lot less going on in his life hopefully). Love the way he plays.

What we need more than anything is leadership on the front line. Hopefully Burden can be that guy and squeeze 100% of the juice out of his mates like Shaq did.

If Freddie is healthy all season he will be finalist for the award! Congrats for the recognition Freddie! 
Too bad we're going to have to play him at RG
yeah, you may be right. If he and marshall on the field at once means thats the best 5 and he has to play RG so be it. Right now our RG situation is not good, and I think watching the spring tape is slow mo really shows how dire it is. Devine is in no condition or ability to play that spot at all. He needs to ride the pine until he gets his mind and body right. The other option may be ok someday...just not today.
Imo if true we may be in trouble. Or he loses his arse then i would be fine. He is too slow right now.

We have a long time till the season starts and for Devine to get in shape. He is by far our most dominant Offensive linemen when in good shape.
hey look I want devine to be all he can be, I am just saying watching the spring tape, unless he gets into shape, I don't know how you start him; he is a situational sub to me right now wasting his talent. He is liability in pass pro and is struggling off the first step in run blocking unless he gets a straight up DL or a shaded i pinching into him. In space you can see he just isn't moving fast enough. I like him...I am a fan...just jeez man he has to get better....
