The Denver Broncos met with Florida Atlantic wide receiver Je’Quan Burton at The College Gridiron Showcase in January, according to The Draft Wire’s Ryan Fowler.
Burton (5-10, 187 pounds) is a speedy prospect with a 40-yard dash time of 4.36 seconds, according to NFLDraftBuzz.com. He started his college career at Southern Illinois, where he appeared in seven games from 2018-2019.
Burton then attended Iowa Central in 2020 before transferring to Florida Atlantic in 2021. Over the last three years with the Owls, Burton hauled in 84 receptions for 1,277 yards and nine touchdowns. His best season came in 2022 when he posted career highs in catches (33), receiving yards (517) and touchdowns (four).
Didn’t do one yesterday, so I’m doing two today.
Je’Quan Burton is a receiver from FAU in the 2024 #NFLDraft. He has legit 4.3 speed with good contact balance and agility. Should be one of the better testers in the class. #LateRoundGems pic.twitter.com/98FmKB1Mmb
