Burleson celebrated his first catch during one-on-one drills with a spike and impromptu dance with Titus Young. When he hauled in another pass, he climbed the end-zone wall and high-fived with fans.

Commence the countdown for a local columnist to cite Burleson's behavior as the latest sign of a lack of discipline in the organization.
