COMING UP NEXT Jermaine Burton runs official 4.45-second 40-yard dash at 2024 combine 2020 (Georgia): Played in all 10 games with 7 starts (27-404-15.0, 3 TDs). 2021 (Georgia): Played in 14 games with 8 starts for the national champions (26-497-19.1, 5 TDs) 2022: Led the Tide with 677 receiving yards (40 receptions, 16.9 per, 7 TDs) in 13 games with 12 starts in his first year after transferring from Georgia. 2023: Led the team with 798 receiving yards, 8 receiving TDs on 39 receptions (20.5 per). Played in 13 games with 12 starts. -- by Chad Reuter By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 5 NFL Comparison Kenny Stills Overview While the catch totals and yardage weren't necessarily prolific, Burton's tape is very appealing. He has pretty good size and plays bigger than he measures. He can fight through press, get physical at the break point and carve out space on 50/50 balls. Burton wasn't asked to run an extended route tree, but he has the traits and ball skills to work all three levels against NFL cornerbacks. He caught a touchdown pass every 5.7 grabs during his college career, but he would have scored even more if not for some mistimed throws when he had opened the window wide. Burton's athletic profile and ball skills create confidence that he can become a solid WR2/3 in the league. Strengths Rarely bothered by physical route redirection. Well-conceived speed variances inside some routes. Quick plant-and-open for stop routes and back-shoulder fades. Hands are big, strong and almost automatic when he's open. Frame and demeanor to beat physical corners at catch point. Premium deep-ball tracker with know-how to control late catch space. Finds a second gear to help run down the deep ball. Weaknesses Runs short/intermediate routes with step-counting tempo. Struggles to snap out-breaking routes at crisp angles. Loses catches when his feet lose track of the boundary. Lacks creativity after the catch. Could be asked to summon more strain as run blocker. Sources Tell Us "He went to IMG Academy (for high school), Georgia and Alabama. Right off the bat you already know he will have size and athleticism and that he can take hard coaching." -- NFC regional scout
