Caleb Burton

Somewhat slight of frame with a lean, athletic build and requisite height. Natural pass catcher with a feel for receiver position. Can play outside or in the slot.

Easy, smooth, fluid movement patterns. Displays good timing and high-pointing ability on contested throws. Adjusts well with encouraging body control. Shows great concentration and ball-tracking acumen on deep throws.

Gets off the line quickly and has shown enough linear juice to get on top of corners in the vertical game. Spatially aware and knows when to leak to open space. Functionally athletic enough to threaten in run-after-catch situations. Generally a good hands catcher. Good football pedigree.

Missed virtually entire junior season with a knee injury. Adequate to above average on-field long speed but can get faster at the top end. No verified athletic data in combine testing or track contexts. May be more fluid mover than twitchy burster.

Nevertheless, one of the top receivers in the Lone Star State's loaded 2022 class. Could become an impact high-major receiver with a ceiling in the top half of the NFL Draft.
