Arizona Cardinals
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burke was one of two cornerbacks selected by the Cardinals in the 2025 Draft - also, second-rounder Will Johnson - and while his eventual landing spot in the fifth round typically would imply he has work to do for reps right off the bat, veteran CB Sean Murphy-Bunting is out for the season due to a knee injury, and Starling Thomas tore his ACL in training camp. As a result, an impressive offseason and preseason could vault Burke into a consistent role behind Max Melton and Johnson. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.52 million contract with the Cardinals in May of 2025.
Productive rookie season

February 2, 2026
Burke tallied 49 tackles (34 solo) and 11 pass defenses (three interceptions) across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Will Johnson and Burke were the two corners that the Cardinals selected in the second and fifth rounds, respectively, of the 2025 NFL Draft. Burke was projected to serve in a rotational role on defense while contributing on special teams but ended up starting in eight games (including six of the final nine games of the season) due to injuries in the secondary, including Sean Murphy-Bunting (knee), Starling Thomas (knee) and Max Melton. Burke's three picks led Arizona and were second-most among NFL rookies behind Xavier Watts (five), and Watts and Burke tied Nick Emmanwori for the most pass defenses among rookies. Burke's performance in 2025 could earn him a more consistent role in the team's defense for his sophomore campaign.
