Had to replace the one we traded.

I like adding speed!

Interesting his combine numbers weren't tops among wrs. They were like 12/13th is. Surprised me.

It would be crazy if we took Jerry Rices son.

Not usually.  They gambled on Carman, though he didn't pan out   Carman isn't as talented as Burton, though.

Two ways to look a that.  

Either they see something really special here........

or they've made an egregious error in judgement.

He's got some real potential, but his judgment is dog shit from what I can tell.

That said, every coach and scout says if he can get his head straight he will be a very solid pro. 

Yeah, I'm not going to love him if he's getting us costly penalties being a dumbass.

He did smack a girl when the fans rushed the filed after a game at Tennessee.

He kind of close lined her/punched her as she was running by him. No idea why, specifically. Here is the video.

Zac looked like a kid on Christmas when they picked him.

I've seen him play in person 3 times, he is very very good.  I think Walters and Chase can get him under control.  Burrow wont tolerate any BS. nowadays either.  Burton will be on a very short leash in my opinion.  But if he can walk the line, he will provide so much more than Boyd the last couple of years.

Definitely would have preferred Wilson, Rice, Franklin or McMillian.

Off-the-Field Concerns

Burton has two major incidents that have become public knowledge; his frequent transfers and his assault of a female Tennessee fan. Both are mired in controversy and hearsay, so here are the facts.

Burton has transferred to six different schools in the past eight years. The reason for these transfers is unknown, however, his official statements have never indicated that these were for disciplinary reasons. His transfer from Georgia seemingly came out of nowhere, especially considering he was already a starter in his freshman year.

The incident in Tennessee occurred after the Crimson Tide lost to the Volunteers 52-49 on October 15th, 2022. After the loss, Tennessee fans stormed the field, a woman ran in front of Burton, and he could be seen punching her in the face. One week later, Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban stated that Burton would not be facing any punishment because Burton felt "scared" when being approached by the fan.

Gotta switch NFL Network off. Rich Eisen is being unbearable with the Michigan stuff.

So is Burton replacing TB's role?

He will be up against big boys in the NFL not 20-21 year olds. He'll learn to wear a humble hat or get his azz handed to him now. If he learns and grows up great if not they cut him.
