Tristan Wirfs excels in NFC title game

Chris Trapasso uses TruMedia’s research platform to analyze the performance of young players in the conference title games:

“Tristan Wirfs, OT, Buccaneers

Assignment: Packers EDGE Za'Darius Smith

Wirfs pitched a shutout against an array of Packers pass rushers in the NFC title game, quite the amazing feat for a first-year player. On 38 pass-blocking snaps, Wirfs did not surrender a single pressure of Tom Brady. 

Smith had just one pressure himself, which made for the fourth outing all season in which he failed to accumulate multiple pressures, and one of the other games was Week 6's loss to the Buccaneers. 

Wirfs is every bit as good as the hype.”
