Michael Burton Busting Heads in Training Camp

Training camp, when the pads come on, is generally the place that the skill positions make their names heard. There isn’t any tackling, so the physical positions don’t generally get a lot of hype during this time, if they’re playing within the rules. It’s nice to see, then, that a fullback can get himself some real exposure. Michael Burton was drafted in the 5th round this year and a lot of fans were taken aback. Why take a fullback in the 5th? Because guys like Michael Burton? They crack heads. They enjoy themselves doing it, too.

Has Michael Burton been worth the pick?
