Burks produced a few explosive plays with Anthony Richardson but his command of the offense remained a problem.

He missed required motions and lined up incorrectly, including on his only first-team snap, when Shane Steichen had to physically direct him to the proper position. Those operational mistakes matter because they can prevent a play from functioning before the ball is even snapped. Burks was also behind Coleman Owen and Anthony Gould in special-teams work, making his performance in that phase especially important.
