After winning the CFP National Championship with the Georgia Bulldogs, Burton heads to the SEC West with the Crimson Tide. He will look to be the premier pass catcher for the Alabama offense. They lost their top two receivers in John Metchie III and Jameson Williams to the NFL draft.

Last season with UGA, Burton caught 26 passes for 497 yards and five touchdowns. His career totals in Athens were 53 receptions for 901 yards and eight touchdowns. Given his new role in Tuscaloosa, Burton could eclipse those numbers in his first season with Young throwing his way.
