In 2016 the Pittsburgh Steelers made cornerback Artie Burns their top draft pick of the NFL Draft process. Some felt it was nothing more than a knee jerk reaction after losing out on William Jackson III, but for whatever reason, the team now has to figure out what they have left in Burns.
After turning down the 5th year option on Burns, this has become a crucial season for the University of Miami product. Finish this year strong and become a free agent heading into the 2020 season. Flounder in 2019 like he did in 2018 and he could find himself unemployed sooner rather than later.
