We continue our series of looking into how the Detroit Lions could improve their pass rush by looking at Florida State edge player Brian Burns. I say edge rather than mentioning defensive end or linebacker specifically because Burns can—and does—play both. Unlike most people who can stand or drop to the dirt, Burns is actually strong enough in both ways that there’s no significant drop off from one to the other. This will be of great value to many teams since they can vary their defensive looks and formations or trip up offenses by running a same or similar play out of a different look.
