One Panther Listed in Pro Football Network's Top 100 Players

It's no surprise that Brian Burns is featured in Pro Football Network's top 100 players in the league, but ranking him 83rd is criminal.

Burns is without a doubt one of the best pass rushers in the NFL and has put up some really strong numbers despite not having much help on the other side (aside from his one year with Haason Reddick).

Here's some analysis from PFN's Dalton Miller:

"Being a well-rounded defender who can rush the passer and defend the run will always be worth more than a one-trick pony. But if that one-trick pony has arguably the best bend in the NFL, along with a plethora of pass-rush moves that make him one of the most dangerous rushers in the league, well, that pony is worth quite a lot.

"It’s a passing league, and Brian Burns does exactly that. He’ll go from being a defensive end to an outside linebacker in Ejiro Evero’s defense. However, that should only help Burns, who was always a better fit in that role as an athletic and undersized defensive end."
