Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:35:47 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Nate Burleson has looked every bit the part of a No. 2 complementary receiver to Calvin Johnson during the offseason, reports Carlos Monarrez, of The Detroit Free Press. He will need to avoid the injury bug and continue standing out for the team.
Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:26:25 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Nate Burleson told the team when they signed him to his contract that he intends to prove he is worth the money, reports Carlos Monarrez, of the Detroit Free Press.

But my job is to come in and prove that I'm worth the money and give you guys everything that I've got.

Mon, 31 May 2010 05:53:07 -0700 The Detroit Lions are hoping the addition of WR Nate Burleson can help reduce attention opposing defenses give to WR Calvin Johnson, according to Tom Kowalski, of Mlive.com. One of Burleson's strengths is getting immediate separation from a cornerback, especially one that is attempting to jam him or knock him off his route at the line of scrimmage. Head coach Jim Schwartz feels Burleson also has the ability to run after the catch. If Burleson can turn a short route into a big gainer, it will force defenses to keep a safety over the top, reducing the attention paid to Johnson.
