VERSATILITY can get you onto an NFL roster, but starting roles and stardom usually are reserved for those who do at least one task really well.
Tight end Trey Burton has played in 31 Eagles games over two seasons. He has three career catches to show for that.
Burton, 24, who was a quarterback, fullback, wide receiver and tight end at Florida, made his mark with the Eagles as an undrafted 2014 rookie on special teams. As a tight end, he has been a bit of an afterthought.
Doug Pederson and the new coaching staff saw Burton's résumé and thought he might make an ideal part-time fullback in the spring, but the coaches quickly realized that Burton, 6-3, 235, was more likely to help them in a pinch as a wide receiver than as a battering ram.
