Artie Burns is headed to Chicago, where he will sign a one-year deal with the Bears according to agent Drew Rosenhaus Saturday. Also Saturday, tight end Nick Vannett agreed to a deal to join the Broncos.
Burns is the last of the Steelers' 2016 NFL Draft picks to officially move on from Pittsburgh. In order, the Steelers' 2016 Draft shook out like this:
- Burns (signed one-year deal with Bears)
- Javon Hargrave (signed three-year deal with Eagles)
- Travis Feeney (free agent, briefly played in AAF, CFL)
- Demarcus Ayers (signed by CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders)
Burns underachieved after being selected with the 25th overall pick out of the University of Miami.
