Nice hands. That wasn't the easiest first catch lol
That ball was on a rope way over his head. Didn't matter though with those hands, just snatched it out of the air.

I do. Honestly, I didn't think Burton was going to be around in the 3rd round and I didn't think we were going to take him in the 2nd with
our need for DT and the fact that Burton didn't block at all at Bama and had some character concerns. I thought he was off our list. But I
was wrong and they took him.
If you look at the player, he has great quickness, can run routes on the outside as a deep threat and can play on the inside if needed but
with Chase who is extremely dangerous in the Slot I expect Burton to have single coverage a lot on the outside and that is a major mismatch
as we see the numbers when in single coverage, he nearly always wins with his hands and ability to adjust to the ball in the air.
Burton won't be considered a #1 with Chase on the team but he could certainly be one IMO.
