Including the team’s rookie minicamp, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns has now participated in 13 total practices as he heads into day-two of the annual mandatory minicamp. That’s likely more than enough time for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin to get a good grasp on what this year’s first-round draft pick out of Miami needs to improve on heading into training camp and following Tuesday’s practice, he was asked to evaluate Burns.
While Tomlin’s answer was brief, it appears as though Burns is coming along nicely in his development and especially when it comes to how he’s receiving and processing information that’s being given to him.
