Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio had glowing Coby Fleener Jersey reviews for Aaron Burbridge. And it's for good reason. The San Francisco 49ers sixth-round pick was the Spartans team MVP in 2015 after setting a school record with 85 receptions. Burbridge added a conference-leading 1,258 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on Dannell Ellerbe Jersey his way to First-Team All-Big Ten honors. Dantonio offered a tantalizing scouting report of the 49ers rookie. “I’ve said it publicly, the guy can catch a BB in the dark,” the coach said last week on a call with 49ers.com. “He’s got great hand-eye coordination. He makes all the 50-50 catches. He’s a very competitive person. He’ll go over the middle, catch the ball and get north immediately. “He’s got good run-after-the-catch ability. He’s just a Vince Williams Jersey really good receiver that makes these acrobatic catches.” Burbridge arrived in East Lansing in 2012 as Rivals' top-ranked player from the state of Michigan. An eight-catch, 134-yard performance against Indiana in just his second career game indicated that Dantonio had a special player. “He sort of became the go-to guy as a true freshman,” Dantonio said. The wideout reasserted himself as a junior Ben Roethlisberger Jersey after being slowed by a hamstring injury during his sophomore season. The real show, however, didn’t start until his senior campaign. Burbridge recorded seven 100-yard games in 2015. Dantonio referenced wins against Air Force (156 yards and three touchdowns), Michigan (nine receptions for 132 yards) and Penn State (75 yards and a touchdown) as standout performances for the 6-1 playmaker. “A large amount of our success is related to how he played,” Dantonio said. “I think he should be a phenomenal player (in the NFL).” So how were the 49ers able to grab such a decorated receiver in the sixth round? “The NFL is a prototype league,” Dantonio explained. “Everyone is looking for the 6-foot-2 guy who runs 4.3 or whatever and has the big vertical jump and Seantrel Henderson Jersey long standing broad jump. AB’s numbers were good, but they weren’t off the charts. I think that’s probably what knocked his level down.” Burbridge posted a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, a 30.5-inch vertical and 115-inch broad jump. The Zach Brown Jersey receiver was also knocked for his 8 1/4-inch hands. Dantonio laughed at the thought that the wideout’s hands were too small having witnessed all of his highlight-reel catches. |
