Brian Burns https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey , EDGESchool: Florida State | Conference: ACCCollege Experience: Junior | Age: 20Height / Weight: 6-5 / 235 lbsProjected Draft Status: 1st RoundNFL Comparison: Brian Burns was a 4-star recruit who was pursued far and wide for his talents back in 2015. Burns had offers from just about every top program in Florida as well as offers from Clemson, Auburn, Michigan, and Georgia among others. Burns decided to get out of south Florida (he is from Plantation) and go north to Tallahassee to play for Florida State. Burns joined a Florida State program that at the time seemed like it was going to go back to its powerhouse roots. Burns got off to a hot start as a freshman and posted some impressive numbers as he laid the blueprint for himself and his rise to become a star in college football. Then things started to go south for Florida State. Jimbo Fisher and team started losing in 2017 and Burns has his worst year statistically. Fisher abruptly left the program after that year and went to coach at Texas A&M and Burns and his team were left to play for new coach Willie Taggart in 2018. It was one of the worst years in recent history for Florida State but Burns shined on a bad team. He set career highs statistically this past season and with Florida State in need of a serious rebuild and far from a contender Burns decided to leave for the NFL early. Burns is one of the top prospects at his position in this draft and should be a feature pass rusher in the NFL for years.StrengthsElite level quickness, burst, and athleticism. Good length. Can expose OL with his quick twitch going outside or inside. Has quick closing burst to be a problem in the backfield. Has the flexibility and athleticism to collapse the pocket.Has good instincts and awareness and knows how to diagnose plays. Keeps lineman at arms length when playing the run and can disengage and make plays to wrap up. Moves well laterally and takes good pursuit angles. Has experience playing from a 2, 3 Womens Dwayne Haskins Jersey , and 4 point stance on the weak side and effective in all stances. Strong at the point of attack and technically sound with his hands. He’s active and is always looking for the ball. Has several pass rush moves already and usually has a plan to get to into the backfield. Decent technique as a tackler.WeaknessesThere are some concerns about his functional strength. Lineman with good balance and punch can push him back and neutralize him. Flexibility isnt as good as other prospects in the class if he learns to turn the corner tighter he probably would have had at least 5 more sacks this season. Consistency can be an issue as he doesn’t always string his moves together and can be hesitant when the play doesn’t come to his side. Not much experience dropping back into coverage. Let’s see his work:More Brian Burns videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsBurns is consistently being mocked within the top 15 so far this offseason. If Burns confirms the eye test with his testing this offseason I would hope the Redskins would be considering him if he fell to 15. It goes without saying that Burns will likely be one of the best athletic talents in this draft as as a weakside linebacker with elite traits he’s an easy replacement for Preston Smith should the Redskins let Smith walk this offseason. I think Burns can stand to gain a few pounds and definitely get stronger at the point of attack so he can improve his consistency as a rusher but he has nearly all the tools to be dominant off the edge. His speed, initial quickness, and burst is something the Redskins haven’t had at the position at a long time. He’s a playmaker than can get to the QB disrupt the run and cause turnovers. The big knock I have on Burns is his lack of experience working in coverage. Common sense says you let him rush the passer as much as you can but in the Redskins defense they like the OLBs to cover tight ends, running backs, and sometimes even slot receivers. This is not a strength of Burns and he’s likely to be exploited in this area even with his athletic profile. Burns can become one of the best pass rushers in the league quickly if he’s used the right way. Would the Redskins be one of those teams? IonMan!"Officially Official:The Redskins got a big win today, and are extending underrated defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis for 3 years, $21.75 million. The former 5th round pick went from being cut and placed on the practice squad his rookie year Dwayne Haskins Jersey White , to being one of the best penetrating defensive linemen in the league. The Redskins spent heavy draft capital on their defensive line the last two years. Jonathan Allen and DaRon Payne were taken in the first round, and have solidified a young line for years. There were questions about whether Washington would extend Ioannidis with big contracts expected to come for the Alabama Wall when their rookie deals were up in 3 and 4 years(with 5th year options). The Redskins also double dipped last year by taking Tim Settle in the 5th round.Ioannidis has been a force inside, but has also been rotated heavily, especially after Payne's arrival last season. He was still able to rack up 7.5 sacks, while playing around 42% of the snaps on defense.Up next? Brandon Scherff's extension...
