Toronto Argonauts

[edit | edit source]

In April 2018, Burks participated in The Spring League, a developmental league to highlight players in front of NFL and CFL scouts. Burks was the first player signed to a professional team when he agreed to terms with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL on April 16.[10][11] Burks made a splash during the preseason, recreating a Spring League play against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats where he reversed direction numerous times to avoid tackles for a loss before streaking for a large gain.[12][13] In the two preseason games, Burks had 13 carries for 69 yards, as well as two catches for 42 yards and a score. As a result, Burks was assigned to the practice roster after the preseason, but was promoted to the active roster for the team's week 4 game against Edmonton.[14] He was also called up in weeks 6 and 15, handling reserve running back and returner duties in all three games, before being demoted back to the practice roster. Following a season ending injury to starting running back James Wilder Jr., and the trade of backup Martese Jackson, Burks assumed the starting role as the Argos limped to a last place finish to the season. In eight games played, Burks produced 283 yards on 45 carries, 125 yards and a touchdown on 18 receptions, and 72 yards on four kick returns. He was released by the Argonauts on February 3, 2020.[15]
