Deion Burks

In 2025, Burks ran 77.9% of his routes from the perimeter, but I think he'll transition back to the slot in the NFL. In 2024, he ran 85.5% of his routes from the slot. Burks is more quick than fast. He had a steady diet of screen, drags, and underneath routes in college with bunch formations to create free releases for him at the line. Burks makes things happen in the open field with a quick accelerator and shiftiness. He has enough raw speed to be utilized vertically in a passing offense. Burks showed off a crisp double move occasionally when aligned on the perimeter in 2025. Burks has a small catch radius and isn't a ball winner at the catch point. He can have issues with physical corners during routes and at the catch point, with a 36.8% contested catch rate in college. He started college with drop issues, but improved his hands over time, with only 4.9% and 3.1% drop rates in his final two seasons.
