Plantation American Heritage is officially on a streak of putting players in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Brian Burns followed in Sony Michel’s footsteps from a year to give American Heritage a first-round pick in back-to-back years Thursday when the Carolina Panthers selected the edge rusher with the No. 16 overall pick of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville.
Burns, who spent the past three seasons as a star defensive end for the Florida State Seminoles, is the third player from South Florida to go in the first 16 picks of the 2019 NFL Draft.
