NEW YORK — Nate Burleson has caught some passes from good quarterbacks over the course of his career. THE NFL TODAY studio analyst and “CBS Mornings” co-host played 11 seasons in the NFL, having receptions from Daunte Culpepper, Matt Hasselbeck, and Matthew Stafford — all of which earned Pro Bowl berths in their careers.
Burleson, who was a 1,000-yard receiver in 2004, has 5,630 receiving yards and 39 touchdowns in his decade-plus career. He has seen his fair share of good quarterback play over the years.
