Great for Burton, may be well deserved but doesn't change the fact I have no confidence that Mel Kiper knows wtf he's talking about.
West Morris has had a solid football program going back many years. He was a varsity starter as a high school freshman, which rarely happens at good programs. Also had huge games in the state playoffs. Tremendous high school player who might not have had his best games against Roxbury.Michael Burton continues to amaze me. I never thought he was D1 material, Roxbury played West Morris several times and I thought he was a 'good' HS player but not D1 or PRO material.
I guess it's time for a reality check!Michael Burton continues to amaze me. I never thought he was D1 material, Roxbury played West Morris several times and I thought he was a 'good' HS player but not D1 or PRO material.
Mel Kiper never played a down of football either in high school or college. In fact, there is no record of him ever graduating from Essex Community College in Maryland.
Mel is nothing more than the Kardashian of ESPN prognostication. His theories and prediction carry no more weight than the turds my dog leaves on the kitchen floor.
As you can see, I have a high opinion of the short man,
