[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 828212, member: 12283"] And it totally [I]could[/I] continue. But "it's only going to continue" or "he's only going to get better" are some of the most common phrases thrown around in draft season, and they are demonstrably untrue. Many times, players don't "continue" and they don't "get better." Actually, every time I've seen one of these undersized, underpowered edge rushers coming out of college, I've heard that same prediction and most of the time it's failed to materialize (e.g. Leonard Floyd, Dion Jordan, Barkevious Mingo, Aaron Maybin, etc.). Burns clearly played really light on tape. Of course, I don't have an official number, but I've rarely seen a legit prospect on tape who was that rail thin. So if it's that easy that he's going to just add the weight and keep it on, why didn't it happen in four years at a legit CFB program? For what it's worth, I heard him comment that he was eating to the point of being physically ill to bulk up for his combine workout. He said he forced himself to keep eating and then tried not to vomit. That doesn't sound sustainable to me. [/QUOTE]
