Burton Makes Most Of Time At TE
When he played at the University of Florida, Trey Burton lined up as an H-back, a fullback, a tight end, a quarterback and a wide receiver. He did it all for an offense that relied on his varied athletic skills. And while those talents helped the Gators and gave Burton one of the most unique stat lines in college football, the role didn't necessarily prepare Burton for the NFL.
Yet here he is, two football seasons later, elevating his game every day as a tight end for the Eagles. Burton's improvement was evident in Saturday's 39-26 preseason win over Green Bay as he contributed a pair of touchdowns among his four receptions for 21 yards.
