The former Florida State defensive lineman will play a key role for the New York Giants this season.
Former Florida State defensive lineman Brian Burns found a new home in the NFL this offseason. The pass-rusher, after five seasons with the Carolina Panthers, was acquired by the New York Giants in March.
"The third spot goes to new Giant Brian Burns, whose impact will be felt immediately. He has earned a 70.0-plus PFF pass-rush grade in each of the past four seasons," PFF wrote.Over the course of his five-year career, Burns has 246 tackles, 59 tackles for loss, 95 quarterback hits and 46 sacks over the course of 80 games played and 67 starts. He was selected to the Pro Bowl during the 2021 and 2022 NFL season.
The former Florida State standout received a massive payday after being traded to New York, too. The Giants gave him a five-year, $141 million deal with $87.5 million guaranteed, giving him the third-highest cap hit on the team this season.
