Drafted: Round 1, No. 16 overall

GRADE: A+

The Panthers' top pick continues to impress with his dominance off the edge this preseason. Burns has overwhelmed offensive tackles with his speed and quickness, as evidenced by his four sacks in three games. Against the Patriots, No. 53's speed and athleticism were on display as he tallied five tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Although Burns is primarily a speed rusher (upfield rusher with a dip-and-rip move or inside spin), he has a good feel for retracing his steps when he rushes past the depth of the quarterback's drop. He demonstrated that awareness on his strip-sack of Jarrett Stidham, which resulted in a turnover for the Panthers. Burns also notched a sack on an inside loop as part of a "T-E" game (defensive tackle goes outside and the defensive end loops around and comes through the inside gap) in which he displayed outstanding balance, body control, and burst. With Burns also chasing down the run from his stand-up position, the rookie looks like a star in the making as an edge defender.

Yes. This guy is going to be the next great Panther. You can just see it when you watch him play. He’s gonna be a good one.

Whoever scouts LB's for us isn't getting paid enough, because our LB's have been $$$$ since we started.

I want to see it in a regular season game, but perhaps his most impressive plays have been chasing down RBs keeping them from getting around the edge.  Dude has elite speed and tackling ability.

Don’t wanna put extra expectations but Burns has flashed throughout the preseason like some of the generational talents we’ve drafted in the past. 

Reallllllly excited to see how good this guys gonna be.

Pretty damn tough not to be excited about Burns.

[PantherFanInPhilly]

THIS is what I'm excited about this season. I think Burns is something special.

[L-TownCat]

He is looking really good so far.  Keep it up kid.

I was skeptical of his lean frame but he's been far better than I anticipated at this point in his career. 

It's not just his speed, it's his fundamentals, high motor, and football IQ. Dude knows where he needs to be on each play. He also plays the run tremendously well. 

Very happy with what I've seen so far.

Can’t really say he’s going to be great based on preseason games even though the Pats gameplanned for him. Let’s see what he does when the real games start.

 

And just wondering... is it just me or does it seem like Ron is talking about Burns as little as possible. Almost like he’s trying to hide him.
