I've watched Burton since he was a freshman at Georgia. I'm a Bama fan so I watched even more after he transferred... Dude got better every season. He works for sure.
Steve is so on point. You have enough information today to solidify your confirmation bias rather than challenge what you actually SEE. I played defense. Speed didn’t scare me. A precise route runner didn’t always scare me either, because I can read the QB and can watch film to predict your routes. Speed mixed with aggression(anger) and wiggle scared me. And if you were thick or could jump… that worried me too.
Also, some guys are satisfied with a catch, or a first down. But some receivers are upset every time they don’t score or embarrass someone. They look different. They feel different. I’d rather ask DBs who I should pick in the draft. Or just Steve who is a WR savant.
I use data analytics every day. Both in my professional life and in analyzing football statistics as a hobby. Guys like Steve provide additional data points that my models don't capture and that I'm not knowledgeable enough to see. Subject matter expert observations can be used in conjunction with data even if the SME doesn't use hard-core data themselves.
i am honored to be a subscriber and a always " liker ". Steve is my greatest "go to" for all things WR. What a grace of a man. " Do you love football ?" " Which wall we runnin thru coach !!!" Coley you are the absolute coolest dude my man. You know way more than all of us,and are a perfect , absolute perfect addition to Steve. Just keepin it real dogs🙂
As a Bama fan i was hoping he would transfer after the 22 season, i was not a fan but in 23 he made so many big boy plays with bad QB play. he will be overlooked in this class of WRs but someone will get a steal with him, great hands, and he's competitive. Im hoping CAR reunites him with BY
Jermaine burton is that guy he’s another sleeper in this class. To me he’s really crafty with his route running and after the catch, Great hands , good releases can make plays in traffic. It’s crazy this wr class is so deep that guys like this will likely fall some
@@nicktomei7642 you can say that about literally everyone in the draft , but notice i just said described him as ‘crafty’ never said he had elite routes
Burton has a good built for a receiver,he's a good route runner he has speed he knows how to find opening in zone, he's a sleeper for sure Steve Smith is not a scout he's just someone with any opinion.he looks like a faster Micheal Wilson fr the cardinals.
This wr class is so deep. I got him as a steal in the 3rd round of my dynasty league. 1.6 Rome Odunze 2.2 Keon Coleman 3.3 Jermaine Burton Hell of a wr rebuild. With only having Marquise and Zay.
Stats shouldn't be a role in comps...They are all situational. If you have a crappy QB, or O line, your stats will suffer. I compare Burton more to Hines Ward orTerry McLaurin. Tough, Smart, Quick, great separator, great hands, Smooth. He plays angry like Steve did which I love.
Dude Mr. T had more than the A-Team! In 1985 he co stared in a movie called Rocky 3!! Where do you think that line ‘I pity the fool’ came from lol. He played Clubber Lang the movies antagonist. Great movie.
The most important aspects of football, at any position, are qualitative. Stats are heavily influenced by scheme, surrounding talent, and opponents. Measurables only tell you about physical potential. Predictive analytics based on quantitative properties assume that the qualitative properties like football IQ, motivation, toughness, work ethic, etc. are fairly equal.
The 40 time on the track is IRRELEVANT. Their speed when wearing 30 lbs of football gear and their ability to accelerate is far more relevant. Jerry Rice ran a 4.6 40 but in pads, in a REAL game, he would leave people in the dust.
Great breakdown again, Steve! Really appreciate it. As someone who has never put on pads and only "scouts" college players casually, I'm curious about the extent to which some of these bad or otherwise undesirable habits you've pointed out in the prospects you've evaluated are fixable. Obviously you can't teach intangibles, like pure size and speed, but if a guy has enough work ethic, are all of these areas of improvement (like body catching, running sloppy routes, and having trouble tracking the deep ball) ones that you would consider to be teachable with enough reps? If so, which techniques, in your experience, are the easiest and hardest to teach? Is it always player-to-player, or do lots of young receivers tend to have difficulty improving in similar areas? Furthermore, are there some non-physical aspects of the game that you've either got, or you don't, no matter how much you practice?
I know you don't like pro comparisons, Steve, and if you see this comment, I'd love to see your opinion on this. When I watched Burton's tape, the abilities stuck out to me, but I also saw the rawness and "dawg" mentality, making contested tough catches, maybe not getting a lot of yac, but tough ran yac, and all that while being on the shorter end of receivers, I thought he reminded me a lot of you. Before your refinement, of course. Always been a huge fan of yours growing up in carolina, love the breakdown, keep up the good videos!
Steve moth was way faster than him js and stronger top body frame he would stiff arm cbs to get yac this guy isn’t that as much as I understand your comparison.
@@thecarter8700 They kept Mixon in check. They'll be fine. Especially with TJ Houshmanzadeh as his close mentor. He can also learn from Ja'Marr and Tee.
Best channel for takes on receivers.. hey Steve what’s your take on McMillan from Washington I am a husky fan and would really like to hear what you think of him. I personally think he’s great but I’m just fan and I’m not gonna lie I am a little biased lol😂 I would like to hear your opinion on his skills and abilities to play at the pro level.
Talking about baseball I was a pitcher and knew how to bend pitches in any direction, but my fastball couldn't break glass in case of emergency. I struck out guys because they were afraid I was going to hit them. 😅 Screwballs and knuckleballs don't show up too swell in anylitics..
Coley is an idiot to not guess that they comped Baldwin to Burton due to frame. When a ton of your catches are down the field and near the sideline you're not gonna get YAC
I agree with Steve but I think he got caught up in YAC and forgot one other key trait, Burton has HANDS. Zero drops? Very fluid and comfortable catches.
He ain't going to need to do nothing but stretch the feild and clear the middle we have Tee And Chase to catch underneath and they know what to do after the catch
I don’t get it either, you know Haters in general… Like Kat Williams said “Feel free to hate on me” Love the channel and gladly will help the best number “89” grandchildren thru college, by simply subscribing.. much love!

Idk why nfl network didn't mention this guy or any Alabama players coming out.. makes you wonder if nick was right about the things going on in the football world
Everything is just a DATA POINT. Ability to separate DATA point, accelerates/decelerates in & out of breaks DATA POINT, 6'0 height DATA POINT, data analytics and its numbers DATA POINT. That's it, everything is a DATA POINT.
Surprised Burton did not blow his left knee out versus Michigan trying to overpower his way into the end zone in OT. Josh Wallace and Rod Moore just bent him over. Steve Smith Sr. WOULD have made it in the end zone.
Great WR prospect with major character concerns, who will fall to the end of Day 2 or even Day 3, because of that. Yep. That sounds like a guy the Steelers would take.
I feel like I get less and less interested with each analysis this guy does. He's right on his analysis about 50% of the time, which anyone can do that.
Key part is he knows his position (WR). Your 50% is way off. Maybe at least 72% and that’s based off of what offense the players are coming from and based off of an offense they could be drafted into.

This guy in an offense with Higgins, Chase and Gesicki going to be nasty
forget that just say his qb is joe burrow
People are SLEEPING on the Bengals Offense man. Joe is healthy. Joe is DANGEROUS when healthy.
Steve you are the best doing this. Don't address the haters.. that's probably a receiver that you called a body catcher
Yea. The rants at the beginning with him trying to defend himself against the ignorant are getting old.
You right and agree
No he's not,I'm the best at doing it, he's just a loudmouth arrogant semi bully.

WHO DEY!
@kystars We in here after Day2 lol 😂🔥
Who dey 🖤🧡🏈🤫💪
He’s so nice !
The Folgers hat is amazing
That Folgers hat 🔥
He's my favorite WR. I think he's going to be a Top 10 WR eventually.

He is definitely a slept on WR
This wr class is so deep. I got him as a steal in the 3rd round of my dynasty league.
1.6 Rome Odunze
2.2 Keon Coleman
3.3 Jermaine Burton
Hell of a wr rebuild. With only having Marquise and Zay.
I have a feeling Burton will be more valuable than Coleman in a couple years.
Really enjoyed the commentary....I like when I can learn from others...

Who Dey!!
There’s so many good WR’s in this draft class, Burton is a better WR than where he will get drafted.
Agreed. He’s better than a lot of WRs who will go in the first two rounds, but character concerns will knock him.
I want the chiefs to pick him,but i know the Steelers or Bengals will take him in the third round.
He’s a very good WR prospect who should go in round 1 or 2, who will fall due to character concerns. That definitely screams Bengals or Steelers.
Damn you fkn called it bro
@@segagenesis7708Lol 🎯
Hell of a call

Great report on the kids, congrats!
The 🐕 is a great analogy
Steve, can you please do a breakdown on Keon Coleman? The kid looks amazing!
Steve, can we please get a top 5 or 6 on QBs?
With Burton Bengals have best receiver room in NFL. Bengals will put up 40 points per game. Let’s Go!
It’s not fair to say Burton can’t RAC. He was forced to run down field due to Alabam’s limitations on offense. He can RAC no issue.
Yup I can’t wait to get him in dynasty
Higgins will be gone at some point
The 40 time on the track is IRRELEVANT. Their speed when wearing 30 lbs of football gear and their ability to accelerate is far more relevant. Jerry Rice ran a 4.6 40 but in pads, in a REAL game, he would leave people in the dust.
speed and hands is great and route runner

He’s so fluid
Burton every time I watched Bama just popped off the screen
Incredible breakdown Steve, your the man!
He ain't going to need to do nothing but stretch the feild and clear the middle we have Tee And Chase to catch underneath and they know what to do after the catch
89 is hilarious 🤣🤣 but a genuine guy def in my top 5 favorite Ball players
Hauling ass up the seem with Chase,Higgins on the feild, Geseki sitting on a route ,could be dangerous (DC headache)
He is the new TJ Hous BABY!!! Probably surpass him, playing in the SEC very competitive football!!!!!
To the point of Doug Baldwin, no one in this draft can match his route running.
Real ones know.
He’s a good route runner but not the best
I subscribed and also liked….Now for crying out loud, where can i get the Folgers’ hat…sh!t is lit…
Steve’s lookin out for the grandkids lol
As a Georgia fan, I hated watching ad and jermaine go.. those two, Brock and Ladd would’ve been too crazy

That Panthers Starter jacket was live back when you was playing!!
he got the quickiest shakiest movements i saw in this wr class.
What do you think about the Diontae Johnson trade for the Panthers?
If he catches the ball consistently should be great. If he fights the ball like in Pittsburgh he will be a free agent next off-season
Steve add context to the analytics 🎉
I picked him up in my dynasty league
What are your thoughts on Malik Washington out of Virginia?
He do one for Ladd McConkey yet?
Can we get a Xavier Weaver Breakdown
Correct stats don't tell the whole story 💯
Idk why nfl network didn't mention this guy or any Alabama players coming out.. makes you wonder if nick was right about the things going on in the football world
Burton apparently has serious character concerns
@@segagenesis7708 I've seen some of the things said by evaluators since I made that comment
Everything is just a DATA POINT. Ability to separate DATA point, accelerates/decelerates in & out of breaks DATA POINT, 6'0 height DATA POINT, data analytics and its numbers DATA POINT. That's it, everything is a DATA POINT.
Burton would be, at a minimum, the fourth best WR in this draft, if it weren't for character concerns.
4th BEST?......LMAO Harrison JR, AD, Franklin, Ladd, Wilson, Coleman, and Odunze are all better than Burton.
I like burton but I don’t think that’s true at all
Maybe last years draft but this draft is loaded with wrs
MHJ, Nabbers, Rome, BTJ, AD, and Ladd all are better prospects then he is. After that i'd be ok with him in the convo
@@oryan404 Better hands than Franklin. Better routes that Franklin, more tenacity than Franklin. Plays bigger than Franklin.
Steve smith sr……. Lets get some film together for xavier legette (South carolina)
Surprised Burton did not blow his left knee out versus Michigan trying to overpower his way into the end zone in OT.
Josh Wallace and Rod Moore just bent him over.
Steve Smith Sr. WOULD have made it in the end zone.
Doesn't all his endzone td catches really hamper his yac numbers?
Yes
Xavier worthy next ?
Watch his highlights and reminds me of Boyd.
Why is he breaking down everyone but the top WRs in the draft? He did Nabers. what about Odunze, Harrison, MccKonkey, BTJ, the Xaviers, etc---
Bro the draft is in 6 weeks lol there's time, chill.
Nah foo I want a dopamine dump @@drew284
Do Brian Thomas jr
Would like more plays showing what you’re talking about. 30 minute video and you guys only showed 5 plays
Agreed. Show the tape. Stop talking.
John Ross speedy but speed don’t catch the ball got to have hand cuz you going against the wolves level isn’t the fastest guy but he’s always open
“Sure……..” 😅
Reminds Me of Kenny Stills
he fits the steelers
Great WR prospect with major character concerns, who will fall to the end of Day 2 or even Day 3, because of that. Yep. That sounds like a guy the Steelers would take.
