He's been a great gadget weapon for Mizzou.

I'd say his strengths are his ability to break tackles and make people miss in space (he is absolutely phenomenal at this - exceptional contact balance, would be elite for a RB - like Deebo Samuel, but not a broke-dick) and his ability to make plays down the field in single coverage situations.

He is really adept at going up and getting back shoulders, or just going up for the ball in general. I think his hands are a plus. He seems to have a feel for finding space against zone coverage. Honestly, his QB play has really held him back. To me, if he had been playing with an elite QB, we're talking about him as the first WR taken.

I haven't heard a hint of off-field stuff from him, but I'll do some checking.

I think if he somehow falls to KC at 31, you should push the button and be pretty happy about it. You know Andy Reid would be able to get great production out of him as the gadget weapon, and he and Rice would be an incredibly dangerous combination for underneath stuff.

I don't think Burden is really a traditional X at present (though he has the overall skills/package to become one, even if he's a little undersized at 5-11). That may be depressing his value, if teams look at him as a slot-only gadget guy.

Andy does LOVE his gadget guys! Sounds like an exciting get if he falls to us.
