WATCH: No wonder USC WRs are so tough to cover, they are capable of disappearing

With a super power like this, it’s no wonder Deontay Burnett is having an incredible season with the USC Trojans.
The junior WR has put up strong numbers throughout his career, but 2017 has been by far his best work. Burnett has 73 catches for 966 yards and 9 TDs this year. Each of those numbers is a team high, and Burnett’s ability to vanish into thin air could be the reason opposing defenses have a tough time covering him.
A video shared by Trojans head coach Clay Helton on Twitter shows Burnett watching QB Sam Darnold celebrating on the sideline, but Burnett is nowhere to be seen a second later.
There’s likely a simple explanation for it all, but it is an impressive disappearing act:
