It is difficult to identify a player that has grown more over the last three seasons than Trey Burton. Burton was a former quarterback, fullback, tight end, and wide receiver during his college days at Florida. While a Gator, Burton even tied Tim Tebow’s team record for rushing touchdowns in a game with five. But Burton went undrafted before signing with the Eagles in 2014. Since, Burton made his contributions primarily on special teams and even led the unit in tackles (19) in 2015.
When Doug Pederson was hired as the head coach of the Eagles before the 2016 season, he was taken aback by how crisp Burton’s routes were.
