CINCINNATI — The Bengals are hoping Jermaine Burton can make an instant impact this season. They took him with the 80th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
There are plenty of analysts that believe in Burton's ability, including Emory Hunt. He compared the Bengals rookie to Odell Beckham Jr. during a recent appearance on the Ross Tucker Podcast.
"[He's] Very much like Odell Beckham Jr in terms of his explosiveness and how he's a straight game breaker," Hunt said.
The Bengals would love to see Burton give them another downfield threat this season. They have Ja'Marr Chase. They have Tee Higgins. Having a third guy that can take the top off the defense is something they haven't had in the Joe Burrow era and it could help take the offense to the next level.

“This was a HUGE pickup for Cincinnati, because I feel like he’s going to have a tremendous impact as a rookie.”
