Brian Burns: What to watch for in 2020

Believe he will be special as a pass rusher, not so much against the run. Rhule will put him in the best positions to use his ability and succeed.

Undersized edge rusher with speed does decent against the pass and struggles against the run his rookie season.

Is anyone actually surprised?

About half way through his 3rd season you will have a better idea if he was worth the pick or not.

Personally I liked the pick and I saw enough his rookie season to feel good about what he can become.  Even if he never becomes great against the run, there is a lot of value in being a pass rushing specialist anyway.

He is not undersized. The dude is 6'5 and has the wingspan of a Pterodactyl. Additionally, he has plenty of room to add weight to his frame. I am already sold on him being a future star as a pass rusher and if he adds weight, he will be a monster and a future perennial pro bowl edge defender. His potential is through the roof. Rhule and his staff have to be salivating at the opportunity to coach him.

I think they will use him like Miller---but he cannot play the run as well and never will.
