“He’s just a quality young man, a real class act. He’s exactly the type of player we can see contributing to the Chiefs organization, and who would really fit in nicely in our kicking room,” the scout said.

“Harrison isn’t going to play forever, so it’s important that we have a successor of similar politi—err, skills and work ethic, to pick up the mantle when he’s done,” our source continued.

When reminded that Burkhardt missed a field goal which ultimately meant the difference between a win and a loss for the Red Raiders, the scout qualified his enthusiasm for the young kicker.

“Yeah, he missed, but he missed right. We can work with a kicker who goes right. What you don’t want is a kicker too far to the left,” the Chiefs scout concluded.
