Who graded him top 20 against the run? I’d love to see the actual parameters if it even exists. 
 

And when did these 4th down “turnovers”occur. He sacked Mariota on a 4th but isn’t listed on any other 4th down play the entire season. I’d like to see those too. If you would tell me what games it would help. 

I agree that the "graded top 20 against the run" is a bit vague but hopefully he shows us where is he pulling that from.  Is it top 20 in the nfl, ends etc?  A few more details would be nice because stats be damned my eyes see him getting manhandled against the run one on one more times then not

Here’s PFF thru week 12. 
 

10. BRIAN BURNS, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Burns has been an ironman for the Panthers this year, leading all edge defenders in snaps (718). Despite that heavy workload, he's been incredibly productive. Burns ranks fourth in the NFL in pressures (53) while also placing second in hurries (34). He’s already recorded double-digit sacks for the first time in his career (10) and is still only 24 years. His lack of ability to stop the run (49.5 PFF run-defense grade) is the only thing keeping him from being higher on this list.

Burns is a solid player, understandably kept as a cornerstone, somebody to build around… he is not a game changer, he’s not the guy getting through on 3rd & need-a-stop but he makes plays…
 

More of a CJ, I ain’t knocking him. But Charles needed Pep & Hardy, as they did him…
