Panthers DE Brian Burns Named Pro Bowl Starter
It took a short three years but the Carolina Panthers stud pass rusher Brian Burns is finally going to his first ever NFL Pro Bowl. On Monday, Burns along with several others was named a starter for the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl, which will be held in Las Vegas on February 6th.
In 14 games this season, Burns has already registered nine sacks which equals his career-high which he set just a year ago. With three games remaining on the Panthers' schedule, it seems safe to say that he will have a new career-high in the sack category.
Teammate and fellow sack artist Haason Reddick missed out on the Pro Bowl roster but was named a first alternate. Safety Jeremy Chinn was named a third alternate and kicker Zane Gonzalez, a fifth alternate.
