Back on the Block: Former Ute safety Terrell Burgess talks Utah football

Terrell Burgess is back on the Block! The former Utah safety and current Tennessee Titans defensive back joins Steve Bartle to talk Utah’s 28–20 win over BYU, life in the NFL, and what it’s really like playing for Morgan Scalley.
