Artie Burns was the first cornerback selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in Round 1 of the NFL Draft since 1997, when the team chose Chad Scott. While notable, that isn’t the only thing that stands out about about Burns, who played his college ball at the University of Miami. The native of Miami was also a one of the world’s top junior track stars in high school, being twice named a track and field All-American by USA Today. He’s broken numerous 110-meter hurdling records and, in 2012, he was ranked fifth in the world and was the top World Junior hurdler in the United States.
