Jermaine Burton

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he thinks WR Jermaine Burton is doing “a good job” this offseason.

Per Sports Illustrated’s Jay Morrison, Taylor said Burton has been “in the building outside of work hours, doing his own thing, prehabbing to get his body right” and is attacking “practice the right way.” Burton has reportedly declined interview requests, focusing instead on his work and there appears to be a “lighter air about him.” Joe Burrow noted that Burton seems to have “matured,” adding that “he’s in a good spot mentally and physically.” Morrison also plainly states that WRs “Kendrick Pryor and Isaiah Williams would shoot past Burton if there’s another transgression,” though Burton does technically occupy the No. 4 wide receiver spot. Burton has a long way to go before he should be considered as a serious late-round option in re-draft formats but if he continues to improve his standing with the team, he could get there with a standout training camp performance.
