Dayton’s veteran defensive line piece with a proven backfield disruptor profile
In the 2005 season, Chad Burton showed real interior disruption for Dayton, finishing with 10 solo tackles, 17 assisted tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 1.0 sack, which points to a player who can penetrate rather than just eat blocks[3]. Dayton’s archived roster and media guide list him as a defensive tackle from Germantown, Ohio, with an active Dayton career spanning 2005-07, reinforcing that he was a seasoned contributor in the program[1][13]. If the goal is a steady, physical front-seven presence with some splash-play upside, Burton fits that mold; if you need a pure edge-speed rusher, this is probably not your guy[3][13].
