The Carolina Panthers have selected Florida State pass rusher Brian Burns with the 16th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.
What an excellent pick for the Panthers. Burns is an outstanding player and has elite ability as a pass rusher. He is long, lengthy, twitchy, and bendy. Every trait that you look for in a pass rusher is exactly what Burns is. He even had the same measureables and size of Danielle Hunter when he entered the NFL. Burns has all the ability to be an elite pass rusher in the league.
For the Panther, taking the chance on Burns could turn out to be quite beneficial. Burns gives them a potentially great pass rusher, a type of player that they haven’t had since Julius Peppers years ago.
He should provide a great spark for their defense and is easily the best pass rusher on the team. The defense, the pass rush, and even the offense all get better by adding a top talent here with this pick.
