Brian Burns has exploded onto the NFL scene as one of the best rookie pass rushers in years. His speed and effort are unparalleled in at least recent Carolina Panthers history. In two games he has lived behind the line of scrimmage, posting two sacks, two tackles for loss, and six quarterback hits according to Pro Football Reference. It is only a matter of time before he breaks out with a huge, multi-sack performance.
Our dear managing editor, Bradley Smith, thinks that time has come. He also came pretty close last week to predicting Kyle Allen’s stat line, so I thought we should give him another chance this week.
