He's made some really nice receptions.

It's disturbing that we can't find a way to expand Burton's role and snaps.  The guy has skills.  He gets open, he has speed and he has hands of steel.   He must be a really slow study.   I don't know, but I hope he catches up!  I see him on the sidelines and he does not seem to be pouting or not paying attention.

I have this dream that towards the end of the season he's going to be unveiled as a reliable and dangerous option.

Just experience. For example there was more than a couple times early this year where Iosivas was running his route full speed through a zone into coverage instead of just gearing down a little in the passing window. It's mostly nuanced stuff like that.

Iosivas will likely continue seeing a decent percentage of snaps and is talented so growth there is still possible.
