Ask yourself this, if she was completely innocent in her actions, why did she delete the video of her taunting him as he left the field on her social media account? Burton faced no discipline that I remember. He has stated publicly that he made a mistake.
It's probably not good policy for a fan to storm the field and go up to any player on the losing team and taunt them as they leave the field.
He's talk shit. So what. Not uncommon for football players. He just needs to learn to not turn his head in the direction of the player he is talking shit to.
Talking shit to fans? Who cares. I've seen Chiefs players talk shit to many opposing fans.
I'm doubtful that Burton makes it to the end of round 3 if he tests as he should. IMO he will be looked at as a traits over production kind of guy. Because of that, I can easily see him moving up the board into the middle to late 2nd in a similar manner the way Jonathan Mingo moved up last year with his traits over production. His deep speed is elite. His hands are big. Tracks the ball just as well as any WR this year. 56% contested catch rate. 0 drops. He checks a lot of the boxes that we will be missing in the room next year.

Yeah, I agree the character concerns seem like an exaggerated non-issue.
But hey, if they make him slip to a range where KC can add him at a nice value, I’m cool with them.
