While playing in the CFL, he was also a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats and spent time in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers. Prior to his professional career, he played college football with the Temple Owls.
Burris attended Spiro High School in Spiro, Oklahoma, and won four varsity letters each in football, track, basketball, and baseball. In football, he was named the Oklahoma Offensive Player of the Year as a senior.
Burris attended Temple University and finished with 20 passing records. He left the university ranked second all-time in Big East Conference passing with 7495 yards.

Burris signed a contract with the CFL's Calgary Stampeders in May 1997. He dressed for one regular season game, and spent the remainder of season on the practice roster.
In 1998, Burris dressed for all 18 regular season games as the Stampeders' third-string quarterback. He gained his first, limited playing time in relief of Jeff Garcia and Dave Dickenson. Burris was also dressed for Calgary's West Final win against Edmonton, as well as the team's Grey Cup win against Hamilton.
In 1999, Garcia joined the San Francisco 49ers. Dickenson became Calgary's starting quarterback, and Burris received more playing time as Dickenson's backup. He replaced Dickenson in the third week game against the Edmonton Eskimos, leading the Stampeders to a come-from-behind victory. Burris started the following two games against the Montreal Alouettes and BC Lions, leading the Stampeders to another victory in the former. He was injured in the third quarter of the latter, and spent the rest of the season on the injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
