Deion Burks Scouting Report

Deion Burks is an electric playmaker who can win vertically up the field or by taking short passes and converting them to big offensive plays.

Draft Grade: Round 2 - Winning Starter

Strengths:

Big-Play Threat: Burks has the top-end speed and acceleration to create an explosive play at any moment.

Elusiveness: Burks has elite short-area quickness. Burks can make the first defender miss with ease and is a dangerous run-after-catch receiver.

Versatility: Burks has the athletic profile to align all over the field and even at running back to be an impact player.

Concerns:

Catch Radius: Burks is limited in overall size and length, which affects his catch radius and ability to make catches with defenders who are in phase with him.

Size: Because Burks is an undersized wide receiver, NFL teams may limit the roles he can fill and make him a primary slot and/or gadget receiver.
