New York Giants edge defender Brian Burns admitted on Friday that he is “a little extra-motivated” for Sunday morning’s game against the Carolina Panthers, a team he spent five seasons with before being traded to the Giants this past offseason.
“I spent five years there and I know a lot of guys there, whatever the case may be,” Burns said. “But, I’m blessed to be where I am now. I’m happy to be where I am now and I’m looking to get a win.”
A two-time Pro Bowler with Carolina after being the 16th overall pick by the Panthers in the 2019 NFL Draft, Burns is having arguably his best season.
