Brian Burns was selected with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers.
The reason they took him at that spot was because they had absolutely no pass rush last season and thought he’d be able to immediately contribute at that position.
They were right.
Brian Burns shined in his first NFL preseason game Thursday night as the Panthers defeated the Chicago Bears 23-13.
Burns had two sacks and two QB hurries on the night. He wasted no time making his presence felt in the first quarter.
