I don't think he would be a pure slot receiver, but we could still get him downfield on more wheel routes out of the backfield or in limited situations out of the slot. Especially on first downs when the defense is in a base scheme instead of a nickle package.
I think Burkhead offers a unique dimension here with an ability to line up in the slot. Gio will spell Hill and will be used on some third downs, but I want to see Rex play a much bigger role in the offense. Brady destroyed teams with little dump-offs to Welker, and would take occasional shots down the field.
