Burton at #6 isn't a knock on his talent it's what are you doing game day. Three starting receivers in Bengals heavy 11 personnel (Chase, Tee, Iosivas), Punt/Kick returner + backup wr Charlie Jones #4, Gunner + Backup returner + rotational WR at all 3 spots Trenton Irwin #5. Burton needs a role on game day outside of backing up only Ja'Marr Chase's outside receiver spot to make him more attractive to dress. Kick Returner/Kick team + rotational outside receiver would be a good game day role for Burton as he continues to learn the playbook.

I agree Burton is a rookie and lots to learn.

The thing I love us his ability to separate. He has not been on the field with our starting OL, Burrow, Chase, Higgins or Gesicki. Burton is a problem for safeties because of his speed. I think by midseason, he will get a lot of snaps and becomes a great option for Joe or opens up things for others.

I think he is a 2023 Yoshi right now, but with more speed.
