CINCINNATI — The Bengals had PFF's highest-graded rookie on offense this preseason. Wide receiver Jermaine Burton notched an 86.1 mark to lead his class.

Burton is still trying to work his way into significant snaps with the starters, but he showed some great raw skill throughout the past month.

All in all, he had eight catches for 157 yards (third-most among all NFL players), and two touchdowns (second-most in NFL) across three games. A few rookie defenders posted higher overall grades than Burton.
