Burton is here for the snaps that do not earn highlights: fitting a gap, clearing a downhill lane and making short-yardage football more dependable. That is a real role in a Monken offense that wants to be physical.
Strengths: Veteran fullback craft, run-fit awareness, and a direct role in gap-scheme and goal-line packages.
Weaknesses: Specialized position means limited touches and value that depends heavily on game script and personnel usage.
