PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Denzel Burke is a tall, lanky cornerback with a combination of straight-line speed and physicality. He exhibits good performance in zone coverage but struggles in man coverage, particularly in press and off-man situations. His raw speed is evident in vertical routes, but he lacks the top-tier technique and flexibility required for elite cornerback play. Burke is best suited for schemes that leverage his zone coverage abilities and physical play style while minimizing his need for quick directional changes and complex man coverage techniques.

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.
