From the article

Burton was used in the preseason more as another tight end/H-back than a traditional fullback, although he did line up occasionally in the backfield. He is strictly a blocker, but was thrown to a few times in the Patriots preseason game. Head coach Todd Monken likes having a fullback.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Burton predicted to make final 53; fullback role fits Monken's scheme preference.

The source predicts Burton will make the final 53-man roster. He was used in preseason more as a tight end/H-back than traditional fullback, though he lined up occasionally in the backfield and was thrown to a few times in the Patriots game. He is strictly a blocker. Head coach Todd Monken likes having a fullback on the roster; the team was expected to draft one but didn't, so Burton signed. By keeping him, the tight end room can become three players instead of four.
