Burns Question for Pete and anyone in the know

[filmcane]

Despite earning a Glass Joe rep at the U (at least with the fans) he is a stout bodied runner, who, if healthy, could really help us next year. Is there an intel about how he's doing, how the coaches feel he is progressing and what the staff feels he can contribute next year and moving forward?

I love his potential, if he can stop getting hurt. A 220lb back with speed and some moves, can wear down a D in the 2nd half. His film sort of reminded me of a tinier version of earl Campbell or Bettis.

 

[CGCANE]

we'll find out soon enough.. let's see if he can last through the Spring.

 

[AUcane]

Spring is his chance. He has a chance to set himself apart from guys like Dallas, Lo and Cam.

 

[whoopingcane]

I am in the know. They love his potential. They see him as a tinier Earl Campbell or Jerome Bettis.

 

[ShadowSpring]

Keep in mind he's been practicing since Sept and has been healthy. **** good news.

 

[Loose Cannon]

What's the possibility he get's used as a Najeh Davenport hybrid type fullback?

 

[Gatorhater]

Over/under on number of plays next years?

lollllll

 

[CaliforniaCanes]

Agree however that Burns has the potential to be as good as any running back on our roster.

Didn't we hear at some point that he was dealing with a shoulder for most of the season and actually wasn't practicing?

 

[BigDikCane]

We have a stable of backs coming in, plus Homer and DeeJay... We'll be alright..

 

[simplycanes]

You don't have to be in the know. He missed nearly 2 years of HS football and got injured during his first week of college practice.

 

[Ver]

I think it's a bad sign that he couldn't get on the field if healthy while we had almost no depth at the position, and Richt isn't one to care about redshirts,

Unless there was a plan to keep him off the field until 2018

 

[Kevin]

I totally forgot bout burns smh

 

[AK_Cane]

Would be nice to have a healthy 220 pound back on the roster for short yardage

 

[Lokest]

Did he even play ST at all this year?

 

[Combo]

I'd be shocked if he ever plays a down here. I hope I'm wrong.

Redshirted

Hurt shoulder. Will be interesting to see how he do this Spring.
