Burns has been a true standout for the Panthers this year, racking up a total of 9 sacks already this year.
According to a press released from the Panthers, “Burns has 25.5 career sacks and six strip-sacks, which are the highest totals of anyone in the 2019 NFL Draft class. He also has 54 quarterback hits, the second-highest total among his draft class”.
Burns will be the only Panthers player to start in the upcoming Pro Bowl, but Panthers’ LB Haason Reddick, cornerback Stephon Gilmore, safety Jeremy Chinn, and kicker Zane Gonzalez have all been named as alternate players for the 2022 Pro Bowl.
