Ugh...
I almost put "and not because they're both white" in my post, but I was hoping people would be mature enough to realize that's not why I was comparing them. I honestly disagree that Leonard was some kind of FB hybrid (how often did Leonard lead block?). He was a RB.
Like I said in my post, they've both been used sparingly (Burkhead is used even less than Leonard thus far). Both solid pass catchers. Similar size. Similar upside (IMO). Both recent Bengals. I often make fun of lazy race comparisons, but just because 2 players are white doesn't automatically make it silly to compare them. I guess we just disagree on how similar they are.
Sure would be nice to see more of Burkhead as a RB to know for sure.
The little i have seen i think he has better vision than Leonard. I guess the comparison is not that far off actually
when i think about it. Hands and size are very similar. Quickness is the area that Rex seems much different, he is
very quick hence why we like to use him in the Slot mostly.
