ESPN's best players available list feels like it has had Burks at No. 1 for an hour or two. But as the sixth round ticks on, the Oklahoma WR still hasn't gotten picked in the 2026 NFL Draft.

One thing is for sure: Burks is one of the fastest football players in the world.

He ran a 4.30-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. It's hard to beat that.

Burks measured 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds at the NFL Combine.

Burks is a freakish athlete -- in addition to his 40 time, he vertical jumped 42.5 inches and did 26 reps on the bench press.
