NFL experts make their preseason picks; Burns 2nd in DROY votes

So far I've been wrong about Burns. Prior to the draft I thought he was currently too thin to make an immediate impact and greatly benefited from the talent on that FSU defense. But the kid has an insane motor, violent hands, incredible bend and ridiculous speed. If this carries over to the regular season I'll gladly eat crow all of the way to the NFL Honors.

"violent hands" is a hell of a band name.

You don’t get comeback for missing like three games do you?

Plus Bell shouldnt get it imo since he held out, he could've played last year but he sat out.  He's not coming back from anything other than crying about his contract from his couch

Another interesting takeaway from the article: 18 different coaches got at least 1 vote for coach of the year. Notably missing from that list? Rivera. Not saying I expect him to win it, but when over half of the coaches have at least one vote, it is a little odd that 2x coach of the year Rivera doesn't even merit one. Probably a reflection of the fact that not many people expect a big year from us.

There’s no requirement of a minimum missed games, plus everyone knew he was hobbled for more than half the season. And if Bell can get a buncha votes when he simply decided not to play because of money, I think Cam is definitely deserving...

    • It shows how short the actual span of a NFL career actually is.  We get caught up with the few guys that play until 40-years old, but that's an extraordinary tiny fraction of the League.  What you may or may not have intentionally done there is show how we quickly move off guys like that but are stubbornly hanging onto Bryce.  His new running mate, Kenny Pickett, drafted just one year earlier is already on his 4th or 5th team.  Kenny isn't horrible, but he's not good enough to be a franchise QB.  Some franchises get it, chalk it up as a miss and move on.  Others double down on trying to make things work until the relationship completely deteriorates. *cough* Dolphins and Cardinals *cough*
    • Winner of 7 vs 8 seed game gets 7th seed. Loser of that game plays against winner of 9 vs 10 seed game. Winner of that game (loser of 7 vs 8 against winner of 9 vs 10) gets 8th seed. So in reality if you make it to the 7 vs 8 game, it’s win and in for your team. Lose that game and you get another shot at getting in. If you have to play the 9 vs 10 game, lose once you are gone. Win the first game as a 9 vs 10 competitor and you still have to win again to get in.
    • DJ Chark, Hayden Hurst, and Bradley Bozeman all started for the Carolina Panthers during Bryce Young’s rookie season. All 3 have announced retirement after two years.  Scott Fitterer was that bad.   And his #1 receiver Thielen also just retired
