IMO. The two closest players Burden translates to in the NFL today are Marvin Mims and Xavier Worthy.
I was thinking Tavon Austin
That OU game was sooooooo under rated. I think that should rank in the top 20 best games all time by a player. For a WR to get thrown into a RB role due to injuries and put up 426 yards (572 all purpose yards) against Oklahoma was truly amazing. Think about that for a moment. He almost had 600yds of offense himself! He was simply unstoppable that game.
I still remember the Stoops interview after the game when he was asked if he was disappointed in the tackling that game. He said it is hard to tackle someone you can’t even get close enough to even put a hand on him.
