Morgan Burnett's collegiate experience and physical attributes align well with defensive systems emphasizing versatile safeties capable of playing multiple roles, such as the Cover-3 match or a hybrid safety in a 4-2-5 nickel scheme.
As a rookie, Burnett could immediately contribute as a rotational safety in sub-packages, eventually developing into a starting strong safety with coverage versatility.
A traditional two-high zone scheme that limits his box presence and playmaking opportunities close to the line of scrimmage.
Burnett's size, speed, and versatility make him a valuable asset for a defense that values adaptable play in both coverage and run support.
Selected #71 overall in Round 3 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of Georgia Tech.
