Ken Burrough was a First Round Pick in 1970, chosen 10th Overall by New Orleans. Burrough had a lousy rookie year, oft-injured and only recording 13 Receptions. The Saints decided to trade him to Houston, and while he didn’t do much as an NFL sophomore, the rest of the decade would become more productive.
Burrough became a regular starter in 1972, and in 1975, he caught 53 passes for a league-leading 1,063 Yards. For his efforts, he went to his first Pro Bowl and was a Second Team All-Pro. This would be Burrough's peak year, but he still eclipsed over 800 Yards the next two years and was a Pro Bowler again in 1977. After two more good years, injuries took him out of most of 1980, though he rebounded for one final year, a 668 Yard and 7 TD campaign.
He had 6,906 Yards with 47 Touchdowns as an Oiler.
