Versatile Florida TE who flashed reliable hands in 2014
Clay Burton is a converted tight end whose biggest selling point was versatility and steady improvement: after starting his UF career on defense, he became a full-time TE and posted a career-best 2014 season with 18 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown, including a seven-catch, 42-yard opener against Eastern Michigan[4][5]. His value came less from explosiveness than from coach-trusted reliability, toughness, and a willingness to fill an evolving role, which made him a useful fit for teams needing a dependable, multi-use tight end rather than a pure mismatch weapon[4][5].
