Burns is a home run hitter that shows the ability to make the big play, whether it’s on the ground or through the air. Burns shows very good vision, balance and the ability to navigate unscathed through traffic. He has great feet and a quick burst when he sees daylight. Burns will get stronger and run with more power as he gets bigger and more mature. As a receiver out of the backfield he shows great hands and makes plays in the passing game.
