A lot of people have given up on Artie Burns or have been very discouraged in him. But the Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-year cornerback has always had at least one person in his corner, and that is his fellow cornerback, starter Joe Haden. Haden was the starter opposite Burns for the latter’s only season in which he started all 16 games.
Haden has frequently stuck up for Burns and expressed confidence in his abilities and his ability to get things back on track. He was thrilled for him late in the year in 2018 when the team was giving him another chance, only to abandon that plan a few snaps into the game.
