He's a guy who can catch the ball really well who is really good at yards after the catch. I really hope they use him more than on just 3rd downs. With enough reps he could develop into a multi-tool weapon.
Burkhead reminds me of a guy that would flourish under a Bellichek, but ride the pine here in Cincy. Sort of like DeDe Dorsey, the guy blocked a punt which he scooped up and scored a TD on and was promptly benched. He ran a screen pass something like 70 yards and didn't see the ball again. I just couldn't figure it out.
He was kind of the bizarro-world Tate.
