Running Back
9th Round
Georgia
"Drafted 9th, Burns was the starting fullback for Georgia last year. With 4.7 speed, he has good size and courage but needs some work on pass protection.
Burns played in the All-American Bowl and was captain of the Bulldogs. He rushed 82 times for 374 yards (4.6 average) as a senior, the only time he was a running back. As a flanker and wingback, he caught 36 for 550 and two touchdowns. He played in the '71 Gator Bowl.
Nicknamed 'Bullet Bob,' he majored in real estate and history. His brother is now coaching the freshman team at Florida and his father has been a high school coach for 19 years. Bob played baseball for Georgia for two years. He enjoys water skiing and hunting. His hometown is Tampa, Florida."
