If Burton would get himself out of the doghouse, might be some potential there.

He might run a wrong route, but Yoshi does that already lol

Burton has great hands unlike Yoshi and is just quicker and more talented honestly. Him showing he can run block is a great sign.

BTW, speaking of grades, agree on BJ Hill, we damn near stopped them Eagles and their brotherly shove which I have never seen stopped, not once.

We stopped them on one tush push and nearly on the TD, gave me some hope as that play is pretty much unstoppable with Hurts.

Would never line that up with 0 sacks and 161 rushing yards/3 rushing TDs.
