Jermaine Burton

Character concerns dropped Burton to 80th overall in the 2024 Draft, following a college career in which he topped 400 yards in four straight seasons for Georgia and Alabama. Unfortunately, his pro career may already be on the ropes after he failed to gain a foothold during his rookie season. There were multiple reports last year about the Bengals being frustrated, and Burton didn't even travel with the team for a Week 18 game at Pittsburgh. If he can get things straightened out, Burton has the talent to emerge as a capable No. 3 receiver alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in Cincinnati's high-flying offense. Burton has 4.45 speed and decent size (6-feet, 196 pounds), which makes him both smaller and slower than incumbent No. 3 receiver Andrei Iosivas, but with superior agility and route-running instincts to potentially make up for it. Either way, the No. 3 job isn't likely to entail many targets when Chase and Higgins both are healthy. Read Past Outlooks
