Dude is already an incredible talent. He breaks tackles, tracks the ball, and catches the ball at a very high level already. Speed is very good (guessing 4.42 to 4.52 range) but not amazing.

He also seems to play bigger than his physical size. Jeremy Maclin is probably a genuinely good comp for Burden.

Thinking a head to what he can become at the next level, it's clear he needs to put most of his focus on route running. His recognition of defenses already seems decent based on some of the comments he makes, probably just a matter of reps and focusing on the craft.

It's pretty clear already next year will be his last year at Mizzou. Would take an injury or off field issue to keep him out of the first round, but might need a little more refinement to go top 10.
