Late to the conversation obviously. But Burks was a senior in 1998. Derron Parquet actually played some in the same backfield. He was a sophmore at the time.

I personally don't think there was any question Burks was better. They both ran for over 2000 yards in high school. But Parquet was more of a finesse, speed guy(compared to Michael). He didn't hate running out of bounds. Not Mario Bates, but still. Burks was a do everything. A real workhorse. He of course went on to start at Auburn as a true freshman.

Two of the best backs I've seen in person were Michael Burks and Jonathan Wells.
