[Burleson] also said he was working in the slot for the first time this week and he was in the slot when he caught his TD pass. He said it gives them more options on offense. He said he was tutored this week by Ben Obomanu because he forgot some of the plays at that spot. - Seahawks InsiderCould Burleson, who has played slot previously with other teams, be being asked to play slot for a couple of games as a way to get Jordan Kent in the game? My point isn't helped by Jordan Kent also running from the slot on that play, but I have a hard time believing Kent would play much in the slot. Unless he's asked to run down the middle of the field each time, playing in the slot would neutralize Kent's speed and size advantages.

Burleson From the Slot
For having watched the play at least 10 times, I'm not sure how I missed that Burleson's TD catch came when he was lined up in the slot. (And as I rewatch the play again, Jordan Kent was the other slot receiver, with Mo Morris and Courtney Taylor wide).
