Burnett : Besides winning the championship game against Tulsa, I would say that when I first got to camp and the team had 7 on 7 and position drills I sat out to catch punts afterwards with teammates and Brandon Marshall, before my first attempt Brandon Marshall told me “to watch out we have a game in two weeks.” I replied, I can catch some punts too!
