He can’t do it anymore.’ No. I did it at a high level in college. I never got a chance to show it again. I know I can. I’m hitting the ball well now. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of opportunity.”The kicking carousel will spin at one point or another this season, although Aguayo said he wonders if he’d be “bad publicity” will keep teams from going with a player who flamed out in such a notable way.

His total EPA on sacks/TFL was -75.3.Film reviewI was listening to the Locked on Bengals podcast hosted by my friend Joe Goodberry (@JoeGoodberry on twitter) last week. He was salivating over Burns’ Combine performance especially with his movement during the field drills. He went as far as comparing those movement skills to Von Miller. While I am always wary of making lofty comparisons C.J. Anderson Jersey , Burns’ movement skills during these drills are superb. He isn’t just a workout warrior though. Burns applies his freakish athleticism on the field to produce plenty of sacks and pressures.It shouldn’t be a surprise that Burns has an effective speed rush. He explodes out of his stance and immediately catches tackles scrambling. On this play, he doesn’t receive much resistance, but his footwork when he’s turning the corner stands out. His rush forces the quarterback to drop his eyes and run into a sack.The speed rush requires not only athleticism, but proper technique too. On this strip sack, Burns gains leverage by dipping his shoulder around the corner to prevent the offensive tackle from getting hands on him. When he catches tackles over setting to prevent the speed rush Russell Color Rush Shepard Jersey , Burns catches them inside.He shows an effective rip at the top of his rush to gain a pressure. The question Burns will have to answer for many decision makers is if he’s a one trick pony or a complete pass rusher. He didn’t have an effective counter in his pass rusher arsenal. When he did try a counter like this spin move, it was unsuccessful. He has plenty of length , but he has to learn how to use his hands and length better.As a run defender, Burns might struggle with physicality, but he does understand his positioning when he is setting an edge. He takes a hard 45 degree angle up field to allow the linebackers to fill the alley of the run Jordan Scarlett Jersey , but he also sheds the block to assist with the stop.He encapsulates what many want to see consistently on this play. He sets a hard edge, holds the point of attack, and the linebackers fill to prevent the 1st down.While many will lament his physical issues against the run, Burns still possesses the lightning quickness to shoot gaps. He doesn’t make the tackle-for-loss, but his quick disruption allowed his teammates to quickly flow to the ball.Offenses have to react fast on RPO concepts because Burns’ speed will prevent the play from executing properly.Burns has sky high potential as an every down edge rusher. He projects better to a stand up rusher https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Christian-Miller-Jersey , but some of the issues in the run game might be overstated. Fit with CarolinaBurns should be in heavy consideration for the Panthers in the 1st round. He has the athleticism, production in a major conference, and the high end traits to be a difference maker at the next level. With Ron Rivera calling the defense full time, it’s important to remember that his base package was 3-4 when he was a coordinator in San Diego. I do not expect a full transition into a 3-4, but I do anticipate multiple looks and packages. Burns would be a perfect fit for his defense. Rivera could use him as a traditional edge in a two or three point stance. He could also move Burns around the formation to create unique blitz opportunities. Burns isn’t a perfect prospect Will Grier Jersey , but he has the tools and upside to become a productive edge rusher in the NFL.
