Film: Tyrel Burgess Highlights

Coach Choate on Burgess: “Tyrell is a young man from Florida who Coach (Brian) Armstrong identified. This guy is different in terms of change of direction. He has a tremendous ability to make people miss in space and he can accelerate very quickly. He possesses raw speed and is a highly productive running back but I think we can play him at a number of different positions. We could play him as a slot receiver to run fly sweeps. He gives us a lot of versatility. He’s a tough, smart kid who gives us a skill set we were missing in the slot.”
