The Jermaine Burton truthers will like this one.
The rookie receiver earned the highest overall grade (76.3) on the entire Cincinnati Bengals offense from Pro Football Focus. This despite only getting 10 snaps.
That was almost thirty points more than Trenton Irwin (47.4) who had 35 snaps, and also well ahead of Ja’Marr Chase (59 snaps, 57.5 PFF grade) and Andrei Iosivas (49 snaps, 55.3 PFF grade), despite his two touchdowns.
Yes, it’s a super small sample size, but it does seem that Burton deserves more chances.
And he’s not the only rookie who impressed.
