haven't completed a prospect report yet but here are my notes.
Burks is a spot route runner in the Arkansas offense. Doesn’t show the ability to make precise cuts. Most routes are rounded off at the top, lacking the detailed nuisances that the best route-runners possess in the NFL.
His hands are the best trait for Burks as he would be considered a sure-handed receiver. Low drop rate at Arkansas.
Burks’ ability to separate can be an issue in the NFL. In the slot where he has free releases he can get into his routes and find spacing in coverage consistently.
Burks lines up in the slot for the majority of his snaps. This allows for him to have free access releases which don't require him to have a versatile release package.
After the catch, Burks is a physical runner. Uses his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame to run through arm tackles. A very difficult receiver to bring down in the open field.
Burks’ ball skills are impressive. Consistently wins 50/50 balls at the catch point. Has an aggressive mentality going up for the ball and wins most times.
Burks has to have a high football knowledge. Understanding routes and spacing is a good trait of his. Burks has the ability to play multiple positions and also shows his in-depth knowledge of the playbook.
Burks’ versatility was on full display at Arkansas. The Razorbacks often lined him up in the slot, in the backfield, and as a boundary receiver.
Burks shows his competitiveness through his ability to win at the catch point on 50/50 balls and his physical run after the catch style. Would like to see Burks become a more physical blocker.
Burks is a high-volume player that has multiple 10-plus touch games. He has big-play ability down the field in one-on-one opportunities. He is not a vertical threat running away from defenders.
