Size:
6-4, 300 pounds.
NFL experience:
He has appeared in 56 NFL games with 38 starts for the San Francisco 49ers at guard. He started nine games in 2025. The 49ers didnāt make a big effort to re-sign Burford, who was a fourth-round draft pick in 2022.
College:
He went to the University of Texas at San Antonio. He was first-team All Conference USA in 2021.

New Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak was the 49ersā passing-game coordinator in 2023 when Burford started 13 games, so they have some experience together.
