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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
