The full breakdown

Burden posted a 63.7 overall grade after spending the vast majority of his 44 snaps operating at a neutral baseline, including a standard 60 grade across 9 run-blocking reps. His receiving grade (64) was defined entirely by the fourth-quarter two-minute drill. He sparked the drive with an 18-yard dig route (+1.5) at Q4 00:54 along with a pair of chain-moving quick outs (+0.5 each). However, his positive momentum was blunted at Q4 00:10 when he failed to separate on an out route and lost a contested catch at the pylon (-0.5).
