Burton looks like he can be legit, but he's just lazy/stupid. If what the rumors are true about him sleeping in meetings, not showing up/showing up late to walkthroughs, and whatever else this knucklehead is doing is way worse than Ross. Burton needs to double down on the mental work instead he's skipping it. It sucks, because I thought that Burton could have been a beast.

Ross, like Burton, had elite athletic gifts but needed to work on some of the smaller things of the game like running the right routes, catching the ball, etc.
Now, we haven't seen if Burton has lapses in catching like Ross did because we have hardly seen Burton make any plays, but we know he's not trusted on routes.

I distinctly remember Ross posting something on social media about how he was open on a handful of routes in games and just wasn't getting enough opportunities.

Ross could have been a beast too if he could have figured out some of the mental lapses.
If Burton doesn't figure out the mental, he could follow the same path.
