Burton's NFL Comeback Bid: Deep Threat for Bills?

0:00It's April 28th, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. Germaine Burton, the 24-year-old former Georgia Bulldog-wide receiver, is making a push for an NFL comeback. Drafted in the third round by the Cincinnati Bengals last year, he barely saw the field, posting just 107 yards and no touchdowns amid, off-field troubles. Those issues bowed over with a big controversy on December 30th, causing him to miss their final regular season game. This year, he sat out every Bengals match up and got suspended for their week 14 clash against Buffalo with no clear reason given. Fans remember Burton's college flash, though. As a true freshman at Georgia in 2020, he hauled in 27 catches for 404 yards and three scores, including a monster. 197 yard, two touchdown explosion against Mississippi State. He stepped up even more as a sophomore with 26 receptions, 497 yards and 5 touchdowns helping the dogs snag the national title before transferring to Alabama.

1:05There, he blew up with 79 catches, 1,495 yards and 15 touchdowns over two seasons earning that draft. Spot. Now, Buffalo's giving him a shot at rookie minicamp, where he could pair his speed with Josh Allen's cannon arm. If Burton keeps his focus and dodges the drama, he might just click as that deep threat the bills crave, turning heads once more on Sundays.
