Stonka Burnside is flashing big-play juice in Memphis’s WR room
In the 2026 season, Stonka Burnside has already made an impact for Memphis with 2 catches for 74 yards and a touchdown, including a 48-yard score in the opener, showing the kind of explosive, vertical-threat ability that changes coverages fast. At 6-foot-1 and 192 pounds, he brings size-speed upside, and Memphis appears to be giving him a real shot as an outside target. The big question is consistency, not talent: if he keeps stacking reliable snaps, he looks like a strong fit for a team that wants a receiver who can win deep and punish one-on-one matchups.
