Robert Burns

[Pixelated bukake]

I am pulling for the young man. Given that he has had ankle, and shoulder issues, the thing that may be tougher than the injuries is the rehab. The fact that he is participating in practice, and could potentially be a contributing players speaks well for his attitude, and work ethic. It's easy to throw in the towel. It does not appear that he has done that.

This is just not true. Healthy burns is as capable as everyone of the backs but also adds size/power combo that none of them possess.

Healthy Burns is up there as 1a 1b with Lo in HS. He could be special if he remains healthy. Great kid as well.

If he makes it through spring are the jokes done?

Burns had bone issues with his feet for the last few years that have been surgically repaired.Like many other injuries the last few years he has put extra pressures on his other parts of his body that created other injuries and gave him the reputation of always being injured.Last year Walton had a badly sprained ankle and hurt his good ankle worse trying to play or Richards who had a hamstring pull and hurt his knee trying to contribute.Burns looks completely healed and is running like his high school highlights film.He could be a pleasant surprise.He reminds me of a young Jonathan Stewart.

Stewart is a pretty good comparison. Probably more dynamic.

Nope.. Sorry guys who played football always look at the guys who are always injured differently... Gogeta, Macho, Dee can attest to this..

Yep, more dynamic than the ex-first round pick with 7,000 yards in the NFL.

We'll stash that guy on the bench behind Homer and co.

I think Burns just staying healthy a full season is a win - from both a physical and mental standpoint for him.

The Top 3 of Homer/Dallas/Lingard will be firmly entrenched. It's going to be hard enough finding carries for just those 3.

If Burns can get a few garbage time carries, contribute on Special Teams and maybe in spots as a FB - I think that's more than enough to expect from him this year. I'd be happy with that.

RB's always get hurt. ankles will get turned, stepped on, and tweaked. shoulders will take a beating. knees will overextend.

If burns can stick around, he'll get his shot at some point this season. Depth is a must at this position.

Burns is 3rd string...

If healthy, for how long? You can't keep talent like that off the field.

Best backs play. IDK care who, pullin for all of them to remain healthy. We saw what happened last yr. Difference this year is we are deep. Still hope we fend off the bug
