Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, the Bengals’ most versatile player, warns the faithful not to sleep on handyman Rex Burkhead.
Burkhead, a running back who doubles as a slot receiver, looks to be one of the top storylines when training camp opens with a 3 p.m. Friday practice on the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields. Sanu, a slot receiver and former All-New Jersey QB who has completed all five of his NFL passes for an average of 35 yards for two touchdowns, doesn’t doubt that Burkhead can throw, too.
“Don’t be fooled by Rex. He can do it all,” Sanu says.
