What about Kevin Walter?

Or your namesake, Brian Leonard?  (since you're calling Burkhead a white WR, Leonard should get the same title)

The thing is, neither Walter or Leonard were shifty (same as Whalen), so there would be no reason for that comparison, even though they were also white.

Same can be said of Chase Coffman, Tyler Eifert, or any other white TE that has taken a snap in the slot.

-Yes, Jones doesn't count because he didn't make the final 53. Otherwise then you have to start counting everyone who started on the 90 man rosters that teams start with now. If you didn't play in a regular season game, you don't get counted.

-I honestly forgot Kevin Walter was a person, which is why I said 2/3 *that I can recall*. That said, Walter's last year with the Bengals was '05, and Wes Welker didn't start being a name people knew until '07, so yes, obviously he didn't get compared to a person who came after him.

-Brain Leonard is a RB who caught passes. Burkhead actually played the WR position. No, he shouldn't get the same title.

-Coffman and Eifert aren't WRs either.



But congrats on just naming random white Bengals who caught passes, even though I specifically said WRs, in an attempt to be as difficult and dickish as possible. Surprised you didn't mention Andy Dalton for his TD catch, or Jake Fisher.

The only WR you actually added was someone who played before Welker became a successful player. Guess what, Cris Collinsworth never got compared to Wes Welker when he was playing for the Bengals either. Helpful!
