Burgess caught our eye this year when he made an acrobatic one catch in tight coverage. At that point, we knew the 2021 athlete had a lot of athletic upside, and we wanted his recruiting information. The young athlete shows some excellent moves avoiding tacklers, and can make some very tight spin moves. He also plays on the defensive side of the ball where he displays great instincts tracking the ball carrier and already has good tackling fundamentals. Not sure where Burgess will end up off his film, but he looks to be a great athlete with a ton of upside.
