Denzel Burke’s performance in 2022 didn’t live up to expectations. The Ohio State cornerback is showing his coaches he doesn’t want that to happen again.
Expected to be one of the best cornerbacks in college football last season after earning Freshman All-American honors in 2021, Burke never quite played to that level as a sophomore. While his performance improved as the year progressed, his year was stained by a poor start as he was beaten for 231 yards on 10 catches and two touchdowns in his first four game appearances of the year, per Pro Football Focus.
