pretty much the exact opposite of Housh. 

What makes him low-effort?

Maybe I missed some report from training camp/preseason, but the only bad mark I recall for him heading into the draft was his after-game incident with a Tennessee Volunteers fan back almost 2 years ago.

As for the rest, I see a big-play dude with good speed and athleticism that continually expanded his production in college at a premiere football program.

With that said, I think anyone expecting Burton to blossom into a bona fide WR1 on a team might have their expectations too high.

Lance Zierlein might have his comp pretty spot-on...Kenny Stills.
Stills had quite a few seasons he was putting up WR2/WR3 numbers utilizing his speed.
Or maybe a Devery Henderson level of production.

I think those are more realistic expectations for Burton.
