Dino supporting his guy.

Love it. He's a great kid. Super humble, hard worker. Can anchor an O-line in the NFL for a decade too. His development is a great success to his family, work ethic and the opportunity to play early at SU.

Plus he’s bilingual!

Said it awhile ago, but I think Bergeron ends up a top 5 OT come draft day and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him taken in the top 20-25 picks.

Agree. He could sneak into late first round with this performance and a follow on strong combine.

Interesting reading that some feel he'd be better as a Guard in the NFL instead of tackle.

Would be a similar transition that Pugh made when he want pro

Kipper has him #6 right now.

Haven’t seen that, but Bergeron is a Tackle all day - LT frame with great athleticism and pass blocking ability. Tackles usually only move to Guard if they can’t play Tackle.

It seems silly that the NFL is this nit-picky, but Pugh had shorter arms than the average NFL Centre - the true T-Rex of an O-line.

It really is a game of inches.

Bergeron shout out at 2:15

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Yeah I only saw it mentioned by a few NFL/draft twitter guys but I was still surprised by it. Figured he would play tackle at the NFL.

That video up above a few posts that Ox posted says he’s played both G and T at practice.

From what I recall he's played at LT or RT during actual games while in school. I don't doubt he can play Guard I just found it a little interesting

 

[cusefan88]

He's getting a lot of love from scouts. Classic player that does well in-person here and at Combine and then goes towards the end of 1st Round.

Yeah, plays like that at work outs could certainly get him into the first round.

He was mentioned on the Ringer Fantasy Football podcast which is doubling as a NFL draft podcast. They said Bergeron was a player which a lot of teams liked but didn't want to let on how much they liked him.

From the Ringer today

The Senior Bowl has an open secret.​

There’s often a few names at the Senior Bowl that everyone is trying not to talk about because they want to keep them a secret. This year’s “worst-kept secret” in Mobile was Syracuse offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron, who accumulated around 40 starts as a four-year starter for the Orange at left and right tackle. Bergeron played plenty on the interior this week, where many expect his best pro ball will be played, and he looked like an NFL starter. It’s a quiet interior offensive line class this season, and tackle isn’t too much stronger—I’d wager more and more smoke musters around Bergeron in the coming months as a top guard prospect that some teams still like as a tackle.
