In a SHOCKING draft day development, Deion Burks slid all the way to the 7th round. But the Indianapolis Colts drafted one of Steve Smith's favorite prospects.
Initially, Steve wasn't impressed with what he saw from Burks in the Sooners' offense. But instead of closing the book, Steve went back to the Purdue tape—and what he found changed everything. Steve breaks down the stark contrast between how Burks was utilized at Purdue versus Oklahoma, proving that his "down" year was a product of scheme, not talent.
Now, Burks has skyrocketed into one of Steve's favorite receivers in the entire 2026 class.

This is a must-watch for anyone who thinks they know who Deion Burks is based on the box scores.
