What's your assessment on Burks so far?

5 guys that have to be good is a series that I've been running for a number of years.  It focuses on five Packers players that need to have good seasons for Green Bay to return to Super Bowl glory.  You won't see Aaron Rodgers or even Davante Adams on this list.  It's not a [...]

So to some it up, great coverage and movement, but worry about him against blockers and while tackling (so far). I think he just needs to get stronger and his tackling will probably be much improved, but that might take an offseason to do. Dealing with NFL OL might take more time, but Pettine will probably seek to protect them asking the DL to play two gap (NT like) which Clark is especially good at.

Biegel needs to show more or he could be cut... as even the 7th round rookie might of looked better than him and Biegel is clearly on the bubble and might be on the wrong side.
