STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Burden's 4-yard catch limited by inaccurate placement; lost YAC opportunity.

Burden earned a 4-yard completion in the 3rd quarter (2nd-and-9, PHI34) on a Sail concept where he broke toward the sideline on a short out. The source grades this 'Ungraded' (0 score) because Keenum's placement was high and behind Burden, forcing him to reach back and gather himself, which eliminated YAC opportunity. The source notes that with Burden's biggest strength being what he does after the catch, this inaccuracy turned a potential larger play into just 4 yards.
