Finesse type TE. Undersized. Short arms and thin legs have him struggling to anchor as a blocker. Every time I saw him inline in Philly he was easily overwhelmed by ends and even backers.
But he does score TDs, so someone will overpay him.
Though Zach Ertz is the team’s starter, Trey Burton can make an impact in many aspects of the game.
Burton is a talented pass catcher who can line up in the slot or out wide. He’s also a capable blocker and made his start with the Eagles as a special teams player.
Coach Doug Pederson spoke highly of Burton when asked if he would see an expanded role this season.
“Yeah, I think the ceiling’s high. Obviously, we know he’s a four-core special teams guy and he’s very valuable on teams. He’s a guy that we can move around offensively,” Pederson said at his press conference on Tuesday. “Carson was real comfortable with him towards the end of the year filling in for Jordan [Matthews] when Jordan was out.”
Pederson added how he’s noticed Burton has bulked up this offseason.
“I like where he’s at right now. I think he’s gotten bigger. He’s gotten stronger,” Pederson said. “He can hold up on the line of scrimmage when we ask him to block, but we know what he can do in route running and that’s something that we’ll continue to develop.”

For the right price, I'd take him.
