TJ Watt, Nick Bosa, Khalil Mack, and Max Crosby weigh less or the same as BB.

6 of the top 8 pass rushers in the NFL weigh the same or less than BB. 

Nick Bosa and Khalil Mack are power ends that play at 270+ lbs.  They are definitely not lighter than Brian Burns.  Myles Garrett and Joey Bosa are also guys that play 270 or heavier.

There are alot guys like Von Miller who have had great careers around Brian Burns weight or lower.  Robert Mathis, Dwight Freeney and Elvis Dumervill were also in that range.

I would have had Brian Burns binge watching Jason Taylor game film this off-season like it was the latest hot Netflix series. He's built like him and has a similar physical tool set. The ideal version of Brian Burns looks a lot like Jason Taylor.

A lot of times players weights never get updated through their careers. Jenkins was always 330 even when he was tipping over golf carts at four bills. Smitty was always listed at 185 even though he was quite obviously in the 200 range based on his clear weight gain from his rookie season.

The Cardinals have admitted he's been as high as 280... which probably means he's flirted with 300. 😂

He’s never been up to 280 (only showed up to camp at 280 and out of shape once).

 Most he’s ever got up to (playing) was around 270.  But he’s always been around 255-260.

I just love all the people when people complain Burns is too small.  But when it’s pointed out most of the leagues top edge rushers are around the same size.  They always try to spin it with some excuse.

If it was listed at 135 LBs would you buy that? Much like college these numbers are done either by a intern or coaching staff. Combine weight is most right, but these guys move all over daily. I was in strength sports and checking my weight daily- lost 18 pounds one day. Normally days around 8-10 and I wasnt doing insane stuff. At the combine I did hear Will Witherspoon drink like 2 gallons of water to get a bigger number as well(i think he hit 217). So it can go the other way as well. I think they change the weigh-ins tho, now they are done before you run to cut out some of the games... 

Minus Von Miller, I doubt any elite DE is 255 or lower come morning. After a long practice in 95 95 heat/hum sure...

Chandler Jones doesn't play at 255.  I'm sorry that there is an entire "thing" that websites do with weight that you were not aware of.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
