PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Burke is a physical, athletic corner with solid size (5’11”, 186) and good zone instincts. His press strength and smooth backpedal make him a fit for zone-heavy schemes, where he can leverage his recovery speed and physicality without being exposed in isolated man coverage situations. While he flashes natural movement skills, he struggles with change of direction and lacks elite closing burst. Fierce in run support and reliable as a tackler, Burke projects as a developmental starting-caliber zone corner with early special teams value.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
