The Pittsburgh Steelers selected cornerback Artie Burns from the University of Miami with the 25th overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. At the time Pittsburgh was on the clock, four other cornerbacks were already taken off draft boards and only two athletes remained that were legitimate picks that the Steelers could draft – Clemson’s Mackensie Alexander and Miami’s Artie Burns.
Jacksonville, who had the fifth overall selection, decided to take the Nation’s best overall corner in Jalen Ramsey from Florida State. If you watched film on Ramsey or took a minute to check out his college statistics, you would have seen that he was the most polished and NFL ready defensive back in the entire draft.
