This one comes less from players and reports as much as it does from those who call themselves his former teammates. When we asked both DJ Turner and Gemon Green who, across the team, they thought would take the next step this season, and neither hesitated mentioning Ja’Den McBurrows.
“He’s fast and he’s physical,” Green said. “I feel like he’s one of the best hitters on the team — out of the linebackers and everything. He can hit because I think like — what was it two years ago? He messed up somebody arm in the Wisconsin game or something like that off a hit? Ja’Den McBurrows is gonna be probably one of my favorites — outside of my brother and stuff like that.”
“Yeah, definitely Ja’Den McBurrows, I can say that,” Turner said. “Freshman year he got injured, but now he’s back. He (was in) rehab last year, but he’s back this year. He’s definitely gonna make some noise.
“He can do it all. He can play a corner and nickel, has really good ball skills, aggressive, tackle. So he’s definitely somebody I feel is gonna make some noise going into this year.”
With Will Johnson being out/limited with injury this spring, McBurrows has a shot. We’ll see more soon if he’s made the most of it.
