02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Shanahan outside zone passing game, with clear-outs, deep shots, and intermediate crossers, where the quarterback operates away from pressure.

X-receiverSplit endFlanker/Z-receiver
Best role

As a rookie, he projects as a rotational deep threat and special teams contributor, with the ceiling of a starting outside receiver capable of stretching the field.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, play-action based offense that primarily uses its receivers for blocking will diminish his strengths.

Burton's size, speed, and deep threat ability make him an ideal fit for schemes that prioritize vertical passing and leverage his downfield prowess.
