Prescott Ennis Burgess (born March 6, 1984) is an American football linebacker and special teamer. He was drafted by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He has had three stints with the team. He played college football at Michigan.
Burgess has also played for the New England Patriots.
Burgess attended Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio, where he ranked among the nation's best linebackers and defensive backs.
After graduating from high school, Burgess attended the University of Michigan. He started 20 of the 46 games he played in, and was named an All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention in his junior (2005) and senior (2006) seasons.
Burgess was drafted in the sixth round (207th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He played in his first eight games for Baltimore, recording four tackles before being placed on injured reserve with a hip injury on November 14. He missed the entire 2008 season, after being placed on injured reserve on August 11 with a broken forearm. Burgess played in the first two games of the 2009 season for the Ravens, picking up two tackles.
Burgess was traded to the New England Patriots on September 22, 2009 in exchange for a conditional seventh round draft choice. He was inactive for the Patriots' Week 3 game and waived on September 28. The trade was conditioned on the games Burgess was active for the Patriots; therefore, the Ravens did not receive any compensation from the Patriots. He was re-signed to the Patriots' practice squad on September 30, in advance of their Week 4 against the Ravens, who would have not been allowed to sign Burgess back off the Patriots' practice squad because of this matchup.
