Steelers’ cornerback Artie Burns made some big waves on Wednesday when he participated in the Sports Illustrated Roundtable MMQB along with six other NFL players. Despite being 22 years young and only in his second season as a pro, when asked about the possibility that a new medical test might be employed to identify chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in active NFL players, Burns said, “I definitely know I have it. I’m going to [test positive for] CTE. I don’t need a test. We play a physical sport, man. Humans are not made to run into each other.
