The talking heads on ESPN were very complimentary of Burks. Said they were surprised he dropped as far as he did and would be interested to see why. His college stats look like he really underachieved compared to his measurables, so maybe that's it??

5-9, 180 will scare off a lot of teams.

He's 5'10" 180 and since Devonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle, that scares a lot less teams away.

He's still a peanut, to paraphrase our once infamous GM, Ryan Grigson, in describing TY Hilton. Some GM's, coaches, scouts, just don't like that profile.
